PREFACE
It is often said that books are a boon to mankind. They document every progress and pass on the knowledge
from one generation to the other. They play a crucial role in our lives. Thus I was both excited and nervous
while editing this book. I was pleased by the thought of being able to make a mark but I was also nervous
to do it right because the future of students depends upon it. Hence, I took a few months to research further
into the discipline, revise my knowledge and also explore some more aspects. Post this process, I began with
the editing of this book.
Acupuncture and acupressure are both widely practiced forms of alternative medicine. Acupuncture is a
part of traditional Chinese medicine that requires the insertion of needles to pre-determined pressure
points. Acupuncture and acupressure methods operate on muscles and muscle clusters to relieve tension
and pain. Diagnosis of pain is made according to its acuteness and the response of the body to the same. In
this book, using case studies and examples, constant effort has been made to make the understanding of the
difficult concepts of acupuncture and acupressure as easy and informative as possible, for the readers. This
book will be useful for students and researchers in the fields of alternative medicine, physiotherapy and pain
management.
I thank my publisher with all my heart for considering me worthy of this unparalleled opportunity and for
showing unwavering faith in my skills. I would also like to thank the editorial team who worked closely with
me at every step and contributed immensely towards the successful completion of this book. Last but not the
least, I wish to thank my friends and colleagues for their support.
Editor
