Point Location

1. How can I locate the acupressure points mentioned in the course?
A: The acupressure points are present in everyone and are simply waiting to be discovered. The course provides detailed instructions and visual demonstrations to help you accurately locate the four key acupressure points in your hands and feet. It is recommended to watch the video carefully and pause as needed to ensure you follow every instruction strictly, ensuring effective and accurate point location.

2. What should I do if I cannot locate an acupressure point?
A: Locating acupuncture points is a crucial skill in professional practice. Even trained acupuncturists require practice to become proficient. If you have difficulty locating the points, refer to the detailed instructions and visual aids provided in the course multiple times. Utilize anatomical landmarks to assist in locating the points. Additionally, you can seek support through the Facebook discussion page or attend online meetings if necessary.

3. Can acupressure points on other parts of the body be used to complement the main points in the course?
A: No, if you are seeking immediate relief. PONAMS points and actions are determined entirely by anatomical landmarks, rigorously analyzed holographic principles and actions that produce at least 70% instant pain relief. As a result, the point combination differs significantly from traditional acupuncture. What is effective for PONAMS combinations can barely be replicated using other points.

4. How can I tell if I’m on the correct acupressure point if I don’t feel any sensation?
A: Not everyone feels intense when pressing on acupressure points, especially if there is significant nerve damage and the symptoms mask other sensations. If you’re unsure, double-check the location using anatomical landmarks provided in the course. Over time, as your body becomes more attuned, you may feel more distinct sensations, indicating that you’re on the correct point.
 

Techniques

1. How long should I apply pressure using these techniques?
A: Each acupressure point should be stimulated using the "Press-and-Hold" or "Making Strokes" techniques for about 30 to 60 seconds, depending on your comfort level and the specific instructions provided in the course. For beginners, it is highly recommended to start with gentle pressure applied for a slow-paced 60 seconds on each point to get accustomed to the technique before progressing to more advanced levels.

2. What is the "Press-and-Hold" technique?
A: The "Press-and-Hold" technique involves applying steady pressure to a specific acupressure point at a particular angle without moving the tool. The pressure should be firm enough to produce a tolerable level of stimulation, without causing any injury or excessive discomfort. This technique is fundamental to activating the healing process at the targeted points.

3. How do I perform the "Making Strokes" technique?
A: The "Making Strokes" technique involves moving the tool back and forth at a rate of approximately two strokes per second in a specific direction at a certain depth, following the "Press-and-Hold" technique. Although this movement may appear to be a simple back-and-forth action, the relief will be more pronounced if you visualize moving the tool more powerfully and quickly in the wrist, as if pulling or pushing something towards the desired direction. The video example in the course provides a clear demonstration of this technique.

4. How do I know if I am applying the correct amount of pressure during acupressure?
A: The correct pressure should produce a noticeable but tolerable sensation without causing significant discomfort. If you experience pain or if the area becomes overly sensitive, reduce the pressure. Over time, you’ll develop a better sense of how much pressure is effective for you. Listening to your body is key; it will guide you to find the right balance.

5. What should I do if I accidentally stimulate the points incorrectly?
A: If you accidentally stimulate the point incorrectly, there’s no need to worry, as the worst scenario of PONAMS is ineffective without improvement. Resume the correct maneuvering skills again and double the time to neutralize the previous action and regenerate the desired therapeutic effects.

6. Can I use other tools if I don't have the recommended items for acupressure?
A: Yes, you are welcome to use any tool with a round or blunt tip that is appropriate for the size of your hands and feet. The key is to ensure that the tool allows you to apply the necessary pressure effectively without causing injury.

7. What should I do if I am unsure about the technique or need further clarification?
A: There are several ways to address any concerns you may have:

1. Review the course video multiple times and carefully examine all the details provided. Follow the instructions precisely to see if the issue can be resolved.
2. Join the Facebook discussion group to engage with peers, share your experiences, and seek advice. This may reveal overlooked details and help solve the problems.
3. Email acip.ponams@gmail.com with the subject line "DPN acupressure relief" for personalized assistance.
4. Participate in on-demand online meetings tailored to different regions and time zones to interact directly with us and address your concerns.
 

Magnets

1. Can medical magnets be used alongside the acupressure techniques?
A: Yes, medical magnets can be used to prolong and maintain the therapeutic effects initiated by the acupressure techniques. We recommend wearing magnets regularly because they provide constant and uninterrupted stimulation to the points. The momentum driven by this particular form of stimulation is often superior and less uncomfortable. Our clinical experience suggests that using magnets multiple times daily can further enhance the therapeutic benefits.

2. What are medical magnets, and how do they work?
A: Medical magnets are therapeutic tools that create a magnetic field on specific acupuncture points. By applying magnetic force to these points, magnets can generate healing power similar to that of manual acupressure techniques. Additionally, magnets enhance circulation, reduce inflammation, and may alter nerve impulses, further aiding in pain relief and promoting healing.

3. Who can benefit from using medical magnets?
A: Individuals experiencing muscle tension, joint pain, neuropathy, or inflammation may find substantial relief through the use of medical magnets. When applied to targeted acupuncture points in carefully selected combinations, these magnets can significantly boost the effectiveness of treatment, overcoming traditional limitations and broadening their therapeutic potential.

4. Can I use medical magnets if I have metal implants in my body?
A: As demonstrated in the video, the acupressure points are in the hands and feet, where metal implants are unlikely to be placed. So, it is generally safe to wear magnets even though you have metal implants. However, it’s essential to consult your healthcare provider before using medical magnets. While most implants do not interact with magnets, there could be exceptions, especially ferromagnetic materials. Your doctor can advise you on the safety of using magnets in your specific situation.

5. How do I properly wear medical magnets?
A: Medical magnets should be placed directly on the acupuncture points, ensuring they are securely attached but not overly tight. It is important to follow the specific positioning instructions provided in the course materials to maximize the magnets' effectiveness. The paper tape, either included in the package or purchased separately, will naturally come off when it is time to remove the magnets. Remember to collect and reuse the magnets, as they are designed to be reusable, and replace the paper tape as needed.

6. What should I do if a magnet falls off during use?
A: If a magnet falls off during use, reattach it to the correct acupressure point using fresh adhesive tape. Maintaining consistent point stimulation is important to ensure the magnet is secure. Rep. lacing the tape or using a fresh magnet may help if the adhesive loses its stickiness. Remember, those four acupuncture points work together to produce the pain, numbness, and symptomatic relief effects. Missing or skipping any of them may result in poor or even no improvement of DPN symptoms.

7. Are there any side effects of using medical magnets?
A: Medical magnets are generally safe for use; however, some individuals may experience minor regional side effects such as skin irritation under the magnet or systemic allergic reactions if they are sensitive to certain types of tapes. It is essential to monitor the skin condition regularly and discontinue the placement if any irritation occurs to prevent further complications.

8. Can medical magnets be used alongside other treatments?
A: Yes, medical magnets work non-invasively on acupuncture points and the meridian system, which are integral to the body's natural healing processes. Magnets can be incorporated into a comprehensive treatment plan that includes physical therapy, medication, and other non-invasive techniques. However, it is always advisable to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new treatment, especially if you are undergoing other forms of therapy.

9. Are there any lifestyle changes that can enhance the benefits of using medical magnets?
A: Yes, adopting a healthy lifestyle can amplify the benefits of medical magnets. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, proper hydration, and stress management can improve circulation and overall well-being, which in turn can enhance the effectiveness of magnetic therapy. Integrating these practices with magnet use can lead to more sustained symptom relief.

10. How long should I wear the medical magnets each day?
A: For optimal therapeutic benefits and faster healing, it is recommended to wear medical magnets for as long as your skin can tolerate them without causing local sensitivity or irritation. Individual responses may vary, so based on your personal preferences, skin condition, and overall responsiveness, the magnets can typically be worn for several hours each day or consecutively for several days.

​

11. Is it safe to wear medical magnets while sleeping?

A: Yes, it is generally safe to wear medical magnets while sleeping, especially if they are securely attached and comfortable. Wearing magnets overnight can provide continuous stimulation and may enhance the therapeutic effects.
