One possible strategy for treating patients in pain that is rapidly effective and has little mortality or serious morbidity risk is the use of battlefield acupuncture, a technique pioneered by Air Force Col Richard Niemtzow, MD, PhD in 2001. Because Dr. Niemtzow’s battlefield acupuncture technique is most effective when using specialized small, gold-plated needles that are not always readily available, I have adapted his work to a technique I call battlefield acupressure. But, before I describ...

Not that I am nervous about those parts of the trip, it is that I am all electronic. Once I have to turn off my electronic devices, all I am left with is my own thoughts or what is in the seat pocket in front of me. Since there is nothing to be gained from quiet introspection, I am stuck with either the in-flight magazine or SkyMall. I usually choose the latter. SkyMall, for those of you who do not fly, is a collection of catalogs bound in one volume. I have occasionally purchased products found in SkyMall and thumb through it with mild interest. This time one product caught my eye, the Aculife home acupuncture/acupressure device. I had never noticed the “health”-related products in SkyMall before, usually looking for electro...

And, for many people (up to 80%), comes worry about being nauseous and vomiting after surgery. This nausea and vomiting doesn’t affect everyone, but it’s not an unusual complication after surgery and it’s due to the anesthetic. Acupressure, similar to acupuncture but using pressure points instead of needles, has been found to be successful in helping many people relieve pain and other discomforts, so researchers wanted to see if they (acupressure and acupuncture) could help relieve the nausea and vomiting. According to an article from Health Behavior News Service, Wrist Acupuncture or Acu...

But any fool knows that a day in the yard can equal a day on the couch…in pain. When the aches and pains of bending, walking, twisting, etc start working their unsavory magic on you, try these tips to ward off a back mishap. * Grab the heating pad and hunker down. Johns Hopkins University reported that when patients with backaches wore heat wraps for 3 consecutive days, their pain levels decreased by 60%. What’s more, they remained low for weeks afterward. * Lean on me…backwards. If you feel like you’ve scored yourself a stiff back, do not sit up straight to try to work out the kinks.
