Acupuncture and acupressure are both widely practiced forms of alternative medicine. Acupuncture is part of traditional Chinese medicine that requires the insertion of needles to pre-determined pressure points. Acupuncture and acupressure methods operate on muscles and muscle clusters to relieve tension and pain. Diagnosis of pain is made according to its acuteness and the response of the body to the same. In this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the difficult concepts of acupuncture and acupressure as easy and informative as possible, for the readers. This book will be useful for students and researchers in the fields of alternative medicine, physiotherapy and pain management.
