No, you will feel a tender sensation for a few seconds.
Use your strongest finger to apply pressure to the acupuncture point area and feel for the most tender spot, then apply pressure for 3 seconds. For the ear, put a finger behind and in front of the ear and squeeze firmly to find the most tender spot and apply pressure for three seconds. For points on the hand, use the opposite hand finger to find the most tender spot and apply pressure for three seconds. The more you feel the point, the more the pain goes away.
After applying acupressure for three seconds, you should experience a noticeable pain reduction immediately along with an increase of range of motion to the area of pain.
I would use acupressure for prevention. First thing in the morning, before you go to sleep and some time in between. You can use it before physical activity and then afterwards.
I would not use acupressure if there is a cut to the site, or if the point is swollen or inflamed or if there's a rash at the point.
No, acupressure is convenient and something you can do on yourself. For best results, acupuncture is the best tool for treating pain. Visit your local licensed acupuncturist for best results.
