| Is acupressure more effective than acupuncture? Q: Dear Dr. Mao, is acupressure more effective than acupuncture? Does acupressure really heal conditions?
A: Both acupressure and acupuncture are, powerful, and subtle tools used by traditional Chinese doctors to treat illness and help the body heal itself. These methods both use the paradigm of Chinese medical theory, including meridian theory to treat illness. I encourage you to look for a practitioner that uses both acupressure and acupuncture to find the strengths and benefits of both acupressure and acupuncture.
