if I remember correctly acupressure deals with applying a slight pressure to hot spots on the nerves, or pressure points. read about it yrs ago and have tried it off and on over the years

I have used this for years for my legs do to my back now I am trying it with this spascity, which isn't working so well, but have tried it in the past, and certain spots supposedly control certain areas of the body ear lobes and palm of hand for headaches, sometimes it works for me, sometimes it doesn't, but I can apply it to myself and that helps, just have to find those certain spots to apply the pressure to

found this if you go to bottom of page it had some info on a number of situations,http://www.geocities.com/jrh_iii/acupressure/
