Acupressure Points for Shoulder, Arm and Neck Pain

The body’s hormonal, circulatory, and cardiovascular systems are all stimulated by acupressure therapy. It reduces headaches and migraines, improves sleep, relaxes your muscles and joints, controls gastrointestinal issues, and is enormously beneficial for back problems and period pain. 
Based on the intensity of the situation, practical benefits from acupressure may require more than one session though it varies from one person to another. Not many people will know that acupressure points are also for particular body parts.  
Acupressure enhances the overall complexion by improving how well the body processes. The stresses of daily living reduce blood flow to the hair roots and follicles. Acupressure increases blood pressure and aids in delivering oxygen and fresh blood to the scalp and hair, encouraging hair growth. Focusing on the pressure points also stimulates metabolic activity and soothes muscles, which is beneficial for the skin.

Various ayurvedic joint pain tablets can help with arthritis or severe joint pain to a 
large extent. However, acupressure can also help in reducing joint pains. Acupressure points focusing especially on the shoulder, arms and neck pain can give exceptional results if done correctly. 

1. Small Intestine 3 
   The Small Intestine Channel is effective in reducing shoulder pain as it runs outside the affected arm and also crosses the shoulder blade. Locate the point on the pinky side of the arm. It is placed above the first knuckle on the hand. Swiftly rub and massage the point to stimulate it further. 
2. Small Intestine 4
   There are known to be many acupressure points for shoulder pain in hands. One can find the Small Intestine 4 acupressure point just before the wrist bone after traversing through the side of the hand. To get faster results, the person can also leverage a tennis ball or a foam roller to activate the point effectively.

1. Lung9 (LU9) Point
   The Lung9 acupressure point effectively reduces the pain in your elbow and forearm. It can subsidise wrist pain which flows down the meridian. 
2. Triple Warmer15 (TW15) Point
   Popularly known as Triple Warmer15, it is a shoulder pressure point that helps minimise the stiffness in the upper arms and the neck. The point is located between the upper edge of the shoulder and the neck. 
3. Preicardium3 (P3) Point
   One can also opt for the Preicardium3 acupressure point, which can be found on the ulnar side of the biceps brachii. This point can bring significant relief if one suffers from tremors in the hands and arms.

1. Jing Jian
   Jian Jing is positioned in the shoulder muscles, approximately between the neck and underarm. An aching or stiff neck can be appropriately treated with Jian Jing. In the case of an expecting woman, avoid activating this point to relieve neck stiffness because doing so might hasten labour.
2. He Gu
   The “web” fold of skin among the thumb and fingers is where the He Gu point is located. According to research, this spot may be manipulated to reduce pain throughout many other body sections, particularly the neck. However, this pressure point should not be used for pregnant women.
