4320760 - Acupressure method - Owned by Suntex Products, Inc. (Easton, PA)

Disclosed is a device for treating physiological disorders by the application of pressure and a method of using such a device. The device comprises a mounting having two clamping members which are movable with respect to one another for clamping a portion of the human body therebetween. At least one of these members terminates in a blunt surface which is adapted to apply pressure to a selected point on the surface of that portion of the body. A biasing mechanism such as a spring is provided for applying a clamping force to retain the clamping members biased toward one another. In one embodiment the blunt surface projects from a shoulder which prevents the surface from penetrating the skin on the application of pressure thereto. The blunt surface has a surface area large enough such that specific points of the body may be stimulated without penetrating the skin and yet small enough such that undesired points will not be stimulated. Additionally, a method is disclosed for using such a device for the treatment of disorders by the application of pressure to the external ear. The method includes the selecting of the desired point to which pressure is to be applied from an acupuncture/acupressure map of the ear. The blunt surface is then positioned adjacent the selected point and stimulation is effected by the application of pressure to the point through the blunt surface.
