Today I am continuing my series on back pain, sharing the best acupuncture and acupressure points.
A natural reaction to back pain is to rub where it hurts. This can often temporarily relieve the pain. Most people use their fist. Some people will roll on a tennis ball. You should also massage these acupressure points to help relieve chronic and acute pain.
Small Intestine 3 (SI 3)
SI 3 for back pain
SI 3 is a very effective acupuncture and acupressure point for back pain. It is effective for acute back pain, but also can be massaged regularly for chronic back pain. SI 3 is located on the outside of the hand, directly next to the base of the pinkie. You can rub this point very strongly if the pain is very severe. This is one of the best acupuncture points for back pain.
