Acupressure
Better for Backs
A study shows this healing
method beats out physical
therapy
Taiwanese researchers
compared the effectiveness
of acupressure and physical
therapy for treating low back
pain. The results of the study
appeared in the July 2004
issue of Preventive Medicine.

The 146 participants in the
study were randomly
assigned to get either six
acupressure or six physical
therapy treatments over the
course of 4 weeks. Pain was
assessed before and after
treatment.

Immediately after the
completion of the
treatments, the average pain
score was significantly lower
in the acupressure group
than in the physical therapy
group. Six months after the
treatments, the average pain
score in the acupressure
group was still lower than it
was in the physical therapy
group.
