When is the best time to start using acupressure for labor pain relief?
The best time to start using acupressure to alleviate pain during labor is at the onset of labor. Studies have found that women received greatest benefits of acupressure pain relief when used at the beginning of there labor rather then waiting until they were in pain or before they even went to the hospital. It was found that by the time the women were at the hospital there labor partners were already experts at finding the specific acupressure points.
