According to a research conducted at Department of Occupational Therapy and Occupational Science in the Missouri-Columbia School of Health Professions using Mr. Jones as a case study to show that chronic pain can be treated by more than just a pill, acupressure!
Mr. Jones suffered from chronic back pain. He could not sleep, bend or stand for long periods of time because of the pain. He cannot lose weight because the pain did not allow him to workout. So after Mr. Jones apply some of the applied acupressure techniques it pain was drastically reduced.
Guy McCormack (a professor of Occupational Therapy at University of Missouri-Columbia) said relaxation and breathing techniques, imagery and visualization can help with how patients perceive pain.
