Does acupressure massage really work to treat disc herniation?

There are people who choose acupressure massage as a method to seek temporary relieve of discomfort and low back pain caused by disc herniation. However, acupressure does not actually help to treat the root cause of the spinal problem.

The typical reasons for patients to resort to acupressure massage for their pains are: 

  • The pains can be relieved quickly without medication.
  • It is deemed safe as acupressure massage does not require any medical equipment.
  • Perception that acupressure may help to enhance the immune system.

Does acupressure massage actually cure disc herniation?

Those people who believe in traditional medicine will choose acupressure to treat disc herniation. The fact is that this method would only serve to help improve blood flow at the acupressure point and to relax contracting muscles, thereby suppressing pain.  An acupressure massage would only resolve paint symptoms at that point in time as this traditional method cannot completely treat and realign deviation of the disc to its original position.

How does chiropractic effectively treat the root cause of disc herniation?

Unlike acupressure massage, chiropractic care available at ACC clinic is capable of addressing the root cause of a herniated disc problem.  In performing the treatment, Doctors of Chiropractic will take the following steps:

  • Locate and define the spine dislocation problem
  • Apply measured manual force to manipulate the dislocated part in order to realign it back to its original position, thus releasing pressure between spinal bones.
