Prescription pain medication does help ease pain, but it has a list of unwanted side effects. But you can get relief from leg pain without any medication through an Eastern medicine technique called acupressure. Using specific pressure points, you can apply pressure to relieve pain and other symptoms. But you only have success if you know how to find the right points.

Step1

Turn your hand facing palm down, and find the spot where the joint of your index finger and thumb come together. You should be able to feel a depression in that area, and that is a pressure point designed to relieve leg pain. This point also treats frontal headaches and cold symptoms like sneezing and a runny nose.

Step2

Slide your four fingers together up your shin towards your knee, and stop when your hand hits your knee. The next pressure point is right underneath your pinky finger. Apply pressure where it is most tender. You may or may not feel a depression at this point. This not only treats leg pain, but also anxiety, depression and low immunity.

Step3

Massage one or both points for three to five minutes, or however long it takes to feel relief. For the best results, use the tip of your finger, your knuckle or the eraser end of a pencil.
