Acupuncture is a medical procedure in which fine needles are inserted into specific points on the body. Acupressure, on the other hand, involves applying pressure to certain points on the body with the hands or other objects. Acupuncture is used to treat a variety of conditions such as pain, stress, anxiety, depression, insomnia, digestive problems, and fertility issues. Acupressure is used to treat a wide range of physical and emotional health concerns including headaches, muscle aches, back pain, joint pain, and fatigue.
