I find acupressure to be invaluable for people in pain. It relieves tight muscles helping the body to naturally recover. Yoga is of great benefit for stress and strengthening and relaxing the muscles. The Deep breathing technique taught by Yoga can help with many problems. I am not a big fan of acupuncture as I have tried it with many different doctors and have never found any relief from pain. Many people swear that acupuncture is great. I think it's up to the individual to experience the treatment. You mentioned talking, it's always good to be able to share your life with other people. Once again this brings about stress relief. In Chinese medicine everything we do is related to our life and I think that is very true. I would strongly recommend you try acupressure and yoga for pain and stress management. I think you would be very happy with the results.

I prefer (below) but they work.
Seeing a chiropractor and massage therapist.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

i've only used accupuncture from this list. I didn't believe in accupunture at all but decided to go to one after my miscarriage as i had a hormone imbalance and terrible problems with anxiety couldnt go out of the house etc.a girlfriend had had similar problems after her pregnancy and recommended a chinese doctor. I was skeptical but had a course of 10 treatments with a chinese guy who did accupuncture. after the 3rd time it was completely fixed no panic attacks or anxiety etc. i was very relaxed after each session. also he got rid of a pain i'd had for a year in one of my ovaries. well it's only my own experience and everyone is different and i can't speak after effectiveness in general medical terms, but it worked for me, and i didn't even believe in it.

they all are true and reliable. each of them is effective for some problems better that others. The totality of them help you to improve your body and soul's health. If you use only one of them then only some limited aspects of you will grow. There is no limitation for soul and body's heath. that's a holly path to the light and spirituality. The more movement; the more pleasure for you and for others.

Depends if you fully understand its real purpose and you fully absorb it...i mean, you feel it, you don't reject it.
