Acupressure

Acupressure is an alternative medical practice that is similar to acupuncture in that it utilizes pressure on specific points along the "meridian" line of the body as unblocking energy channels to promote the flow of "Qi" as a means of controlling pain. Considered a pseudoscience by mainstream western medicine and science it has a following in the west as a non-pharmaceutical means of controlling pain.
