If you've ever felt extremely dizzy or off-balance, you may have experienced vertigo. Some medical treatments are effective, but alternative practices can grant relief too— and some can even be done at home. Here, Qihui Jin and Itorye Silver, licensed acupuncturists at WTHN acupuncture clinics in New York City, explain how acupressure works and how it could help you.
Is acupressure different from acupuncture?
Long ago, Chinese doctors discovered specific points on the body on which stimulation has therapeutic effects. These acupoints” may be stimulated using pressure (called acupressure) or the insertion of hair-thin needles (called acupuncture). Licensed acupuncturists perform both techniques, but you can learn to do acupressure yourself at home.
