IMPORTANT: The information provided on Acupressure Guide is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Not a Substitute for Professional Medical Care

The content on this website, including but not limited to acupressure techniques, pressure point locations, and traditional healing methods, should NOT be used as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

Always seek the advice of your physician or other qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding a medical condition. Never disregard professional medical advice or delay in seeking it because of something you have read on this website.

Emergency Medical Situations

If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your doctor or emergency services immediately. Acupressure techniques should never be relied upon in emergency medical situations.

Individual Results May Vary

The effectiveness of acupressure techniques and traditional healing methods may vary significantly from person to person. What works for one individual may not work for another. Factors such as:

  • Individual health conditions
  • Physical constitution
  • Severity of symptoms
  • Proper technique application
  • Consistency of practice

All contribute to the potential effectiveness of acupressure methods.

Contraindications and Safety

Acupressure may not be suitable for everyone. You should avoid or use extreme caution with acupressure techniques if you have:

  • Serious heart conditions or pacemaker
  • Blood clotting disorders or are taking blood thinners
  • Cancer (without oncologist approval)
  • Pregnancy (certain pressure points may stimulate contractions)
  • Recent injuries, fractures, or surgical sites
  • Skin conditions, infections, or open wounds in treatment areas
  • Severe osteoporosis
  • Mental health conditions that may affect judgment

Pregnant women should consult their healthcare provider before practicing acupressure, as certain pressure points may stimulate uterine contractions.

Proper Technique and Training

Acupressure techniques require proper knowledge and application. Incorrect pressure, location, or duration may be ineffective or potentially harmful. We recommend:

  • Starting with gentle pressure and gradually increasing as comfortable
  • Learning proper point locations before applying techniques
  • Consulting with qualified practitioners for complex conditions
  • Discontinuing any technique that causes pain or discomfort

Cultural and Traditional Context

Acupressure is part of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and other traditional healing systems. While these practices have been used for thousands of years, they are based on traditional theories that may differ from modern medical understanding.

We respect and acknowledge the cultural origins of these practices while emphasizing that traditional use does not guarantee safety or efficacy for all individuals or conditions.

  • Inform your healthcare providers about any complementary practices you use
  • Continue with prescribed medical treatments
  • Seek immediate medical attention for serious or worsening symptoms
  • Use acupressure as a supportive practice alongside conventional care
