Pediatric acupuncture is a great way to keep your kids healthy and happy and children are especially responsive to Acupuncture and other non-invasive modalities like Acupressure, Tui Na, Gua Sha, and Herbs. All these methods are safe to use on all ages --- even infants!
Just to name a few conditions:
-
Weak constitution, weak immune system
-
Colic, excessive night crying
-
Digestive health (GERD, constipation, diarrhea, etc.)
-
Night terrors, sleep issues, bedwetting
-
Allergies, asthma
-
Skin disorders and hives
Children (even the young adults) innately fear needles, especially since immunization shots and blood draws inevitably result in pain. Acupuncture needles are much smaller, thinner, and gentler, but to children needles are needles. In treatment, we may treat the parent first to let the child feel more comfortable and see that there is no pain involved.
