Points B48 & GB30 for Lower Back, Hip Pain and Sciatica
Location
Acupressure point B48 is one to two finger-widths outside the large bony area at the base of the spine (the sacrum) and midway between the top of the hipbone (the iliac crest) and the base of the buttocks.
GB30 is posterior to the most prominent part of the trochanter in the deep hollow. This point tends to be sensitive when a person is suffering from sciatic pain.

Directions
For best results, press down and inward gradually, towards the center of your pelvis. Hold firmly for a couple of minutes, while breathing deeply, then release gradually. Since there will be soreness or tenderness from the inflammation of the sciatic nerve, make sure to apply the pressure very slowly, being senstitive as you go into these points.
For Sciatica
These Acupressure points are two of the most effective spots on the body for relieving the pain of sciatica. To use these points for yourself, get a one-pound bag of beans, and lie on your side so the bag of beans presses into each of the points separately. Adjust the position of your legs so it hurts good. Breathe deeply for a few minutes, then move to whatever is the most comfortable position for you, and relax for a few more minutes.
For Lower Back Pain
Here's a personal experience written by Michael Gach.
I will never forget the woman who came to my Acupressure class of over 50 social workers. She told me that she had so much lower back pain that she couldn’t sit in a chair. She had to lie down.
At the break, when she asked for help with her lower back pain, these pelvic points surprised both of us. Even though these Acupressure points were so much lower than the pain in her back, it relieved her pain significantly in just 10 minutes. These points are also effective for relieving sciatica, frustration, hip problems, rheumatism, paralysis, and epilepsy.

For Child Birth & Postpartum
Here's another personal experience written by Michael Gach.
My wife and I decided on having a home birth. The B48 Acupressure points on both sides of the body, called the Womb and Vitals, were the most important points for assisting my wife to dilate and have our baby. These points are also excellent for postpartum recovery.
Other Acupressure Benefits Using B48 and GB30
These include bladder weakness, urinary problems, hemorrhoids, and pain that goes down the leg.
