Pressure point therapy increases blood flow to specific accu-pressure points along the neck and back, helping to relax muscles, decrease pain and promote healing. Here at the Winchester Institute acupressure is a primary tool used in the manual therapy and chiropractic manipulation process with treating our patients. Pressure point therapy has been used by many cultures to treat poor health. Sometimes referred to as “trigger points”, these tender spots may occur in a muscle and produce additional soreness or refer pain to other muscles or areas in the body. Applying pressure point therapy to these areas can reduce pain and stiffness, restore function, increase range of motion and improve strength, posture and balance.
