Cervical and neck pain can be relieved through acupressure on certain points. Here are a few effective acupressure points for neck and cervical pain relief:
GB20 (Gallbladder 20): Also known as Feng Chi, this point is located at the base of the skull, on either side of the neck. Applying pressure on this point can relieve neck and headache pain.
GB21 (Gallbladder 21): This point is located at the top of the shoulder, near the base of the neck. Applying pressure on this point can relieve neck, shoulder, and upper back pain.
LI4 (Large Intestine 4): This point is located on the back of the hand, in the webbing between the thumb and the index finger. Stimulating this point can relieve neck and headache pain.
BL10 (Bladder 10): This point is located on the back of the neck, near the base of the skull. Stimulating this point can relieve neck pain and stiffness.
GB34 (Gallbladder 34): This point is located on the outside of the leg, near the knee. Stimulating this point can relieve neck and shoulder pain.
It’s important to remember that acupressure is not a substitute for proper medical treatment, and you should consult with a healthcare professional before trying acupressure to relieve neck pain. Additionally, applying too much pressure or using the wrong technique can cause further injury, so it’s important to be gentle and use the correct method
