How To Apply The Discs
Be sure to clean and dry the area prior to application. You will notice that holographic disc placements run a very close parallel to actual acupressure techniques that are performed with electricity, needles, moxibustion, and massage. Mimicking any of the prementioned meridian placements will cause the discs to interact with the body almost identically to any of these procedures.
For Disc-Therapy Pain Relief Acupressure Discs, we suggest that you start at the point of discomfort or pain:
-
Place the first disc directly on the affected area.
-
Place an additional disc on the opposite side of the problem.
For example, if there’s a problem on the top of the wrist, place one on the bottom of the wrist as well.

Placement Guidelines for Common Ailments
Lower Back Pain:
When dealing with Lower Back Pain, you may want to place a few discs around the exact spot. We suggest using a 'Cross Pattern' of one disc on the pain, and then four more in a cross pattern around it approximately 2” apart, or an 'Enhanced Cross Pattern' version, with the discs 1” apart, with the end left/right discs placed slightly downward from the preceding disc.
Back Pain:
Location: BL-23 is located in the lower back, between the second and third lumbar vertebrae, two finger widths away from the spine at waist level.
Location: BL-47 is located in the mid-lower back, between the second and third lumbar vertebrae, four finger widths away from the spine at waist level.
Location: K-3 is midway between the inside of the anklebone and the Achilles tendon in the back of the ankle.
Head Pain:
Location: BL-10 is located one-half inch below the base of the skull on the ropy muscles one-half inch outward from either side of the spine.
Location: GV-16 is in the center of the back of the head, in the large hollow under the base of the skull.
Location: GB-20 is located below and to the outside of the base of the skull, between the main neck muscle and trapezious, approximately at the same level as the earlobe.
Shoulder Pain:
Location: TW-15 is on the shoulders, midway between the base of the neck and the outside of the shoulders, one-half inch below the top of the shoulders.
Location: LI-14 is on the outer surface of the upper arm, one-third of the way down from the top of the shoulder to the elbow. Find a wiry muscle band by rubbing the fingers over the bone on the outside of the arm.
Location: BL-60 is on the outside of the ankle. At the very top of the anklebone, draw a straight line to the Achilles tendon. In the hollow between the tendon and the anklebone is where you would place the disc, parallel to the anklebone.
Location: BL-62 is in the first indentation directly below the outer anklebone. This hollow is one-third the distance from the outer anklebone to the bottom of the heel. .
Location: GB-20 is located below and to the outside of the base of the skull, between the main neck muscle and trapezious, approximately at the same level as the earlobe.
Location: GB-21 is on the highest point of the shoulder, one to two inches out from the base of the neck, on the tightest spot.
Toothaches:
Location: TW-13 is on the outer surface of the upper arm, one thumb width in back of the base of the upper arm muscle (the deltoid) and two finger widths higher up toward the shoulder.
Location: ST-3 is at the bottom of the cheekbone, directly below the pupil.
Location: ST-6 is between the upper and lower jaw, on the (masseter) muscle that bulges when the back teeth are clenched.
Jaw / TMJ
Location: GB-2 is located in front of the ear hole, one-half inch below the depression that enlarges when the mouth is open.
Location: GB-20 is located below and to the outside of the base of the skull, between the main neck muscle and trapezious, approximately at the same level as the earlobe.
Location: ST-6 is between the upper and lower jaw, on the (masseter) muscle that bulges when the back teeth are clenched.
Knee Pain
Location: BL-54 is in the center of the back of the knee in the crease of the knee joint.
Location: K-10 is on the inner edge of the knee crease, in the hollow between two tendons.
Location: SP-9 is on the inside of the leg, just below the bulge that is down from the inside of the knee and under the head of the shinbone.
