Acupressure better for relieving lower back pain

A study, published in the British Medical Journal revealed the following. Two groups of lower back pain sufferers were assigned either physical therapy or acupressure. Both groups experienced short-term relief but only the group, treated with acupressure experienced less pain 6 months or more after the treatment.

That is good to know, having in mind that every third person suffers from back pain of some sort at some point of their life.

I personally never put in doubt the efficacy of the Chinese medicine. In fact it was a part of my education program for massage therapy.
