Spondylitis
This condition, often the result of degenerative disk disease, occurs when one vertebra slips slightly forward over another vertebra. The displaced bone may pinch the sciatic nerve where it leaves the spine. This is one of the most common ailments. It is a condition wherein the vertebral column is compressed and the flow of energy gets restricted in the nerves at the cervical (neck) region, which later penetrates in the lower areas of the body causing pain and discomfort. Acupressure addresses this problem, with a curative rate of almost 98%.
Sciatica
Sciatica frequently occurs when a nerve root is compressed in your lower (lumbar) spine - most often as a result of a herniated disk in the low back. Disks are pads of cartilage that separate the bones (vertebrae) in your spine. They keep your spine flexible and act as shock absorbers to cushion the vertebrae when you move. You can ease sciatic pain by pressing on appropriate acupressure points. First find the center of the depression at the sides of the buttocks. Then press both sides simultaneously and hard, because the acupressure points lie deep below the skin, gach says. Keep the pressure on for a count of 15, then release.
Eye strain
 To alleviate eye strain quickly, first wash your hands thoroughly to avoid placing germs and dirt into the eyes. The next step is to apply light pressure to acupressure point b2 which is located on the upper ridge of the eye sockets close to the bridge of the nose. To more easily describe the location of this point, imagine it being on the inner edge of the eyebrows. With both thumbs (one for each eye) press upward into the indentations of the eye sockets. While stimulating this point attempt to relax and breathe deeply. Do this for one minute. This point is known for its ability to relieve red and painful eyes from straining the eyes, foggy vision and even some eye symptoms associated with allergies.
