Chattanooga Acupressure

One of the techniques that Dr. William Johnson, DC, uses in chiropractic care at Pain Relief Center is Chattanooga acupressure. Acupressure in Chattanooga is derived from an ancient Chinese practice used in acupuncture. Unlike acupuncture, acupressure does not require the use of needles on pressure, or meridian, paths and points. Instead, Chattanooga acupressure is a form of massage therapy where pressure is applied to the points.

Meridian points are invisible energy fields on your body that correspond to different organs and functions, like your heart, lungs, liver, etc. Acupressure in Chattanooga chiropractic care has been used to help alleviate any pains or problems associated with those organs. Trained professionals locate the meridian points and apply manual pressure to them using their fingers, knuckles, hands, or elbows. It has been effective in treating chiropractic conditions such as low-back pain and arthritis, as well as stress, nausea, and cramps.

During Chattanooga acupressure, different levels of pressure are applied depending on the meridian point. The point being stimulated corresponds to the part of the body that is ailing. For example, by massaging the pressure point for your sinuses, your sinus headache can be healed. Usually, the acupressure in Chattanooga is administered by a practitioner who steadily massages a meridian point for two to five minutes. For points that are overly tense, the practitioner spends more time on the massage. Points that are sore receive shorter massages.

Acupressure in Chattanooga generally targets the 12 main meridian points in your body. These main points usually help to increase circulation and energy. The patient is able to experience better overall health and wellness. Chattanooga acupressure is also used to reduce blockages that are stopping natural, self-healing processes within the body.

Advocates of acupressure in Chattanooga agree that, not only does it help to improve health — it also encourages relaxation, reduces stress, and can even boost your immune system. When Chattanooga acupressure is combined with more traditional medicines, many chiropractic problems (muscular sprains, arthritis, low-back pain, etc.) and general health conditions (high blood pressure, asthma, headaches, etc.) have been completely healed.
