Lower back pain is a common problem faced by almost all of us. But thankfully in most cases, it is a temporary problem caused by overexertion or some strenuous activity. But for others, it can be a long-lasting problem caused by herniated discs, arthritis or abnormal curvature of the back. Whatever might be the reason; acupressure point will surely provide relief for back pain.
B60 or Bladder 60 is a leg acupressure point for lower back pain that is located at the midpoint between the Achilles tendon and the outer anklebone. This point is also called the Kunlun Mountains and applying pressure at this point on both legs helps in relieving stiffness and upper and lower back pain. It is also beneficial for treatment of neck pain, swelling and pain in the heels, headache and dizziness. This point can also induce labor; therefore, pregnant women should refrain from stimulating this point.
