Pediatric Acupuncture – no needles needed!
We use many methods to give your child the best care necessary. The treatments are comfortable and many times the child requests a particular technique, e.g. moxa (warming therapy) is soothing experience that most people (children and adults) enjoy. Other methods include a very safe low-level laser (similar to laser pointer), gua sha (gentle scraping with soupspoon), pressing (with magnetic probe), cupping and tapping. After a discussion with your child and a demonstration, acupuncture may be chosen.
Overall, most children enjoy the treatment and look forward to their next visit.
Herbs and supplements are often suggested and are always age-appropriate, for your convenience, most are available at the clinic.
You will be shown how to do most of these treatments at home so you can continue treatments on a regular basis.
Remember, an acupuncture treatment is designed for your child’s long-term health: preventing tomorrow’s illness by taking care of today’s imbalance.
