Pediatric Acupuncture
Providing the natural health benefits of acupuncture from infants to young adults.
More and more parents are turning to acupuncture for their children because it offers a safe, natural and effective approach to pediatric care.
Acupuncture focuses on treating symptoms by stimulating healing and restoring the body’s own ability to heal. For those kids who are afraid of needles, modern acupuncture treatments are done using painless acupuncture and non-needle techniques, so treatments are always easy and painless.
Acupuncture offers not only individualized treatment plans, but also a less invasive therapeutic technique than western medications with no unwanted side effects. Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be safely performed on children as young as 6 months old.
