What is Pediatric Acupuncture?
Pediatric Acupuncture is specialized for newborns through the age of 13.
How Does it Work?
Older kids can receive needling, while younger patients may receive a non-invasive needling technique combined with magnetic therapy, light cupping, and moxa. Because pediatric patients are very yang in nature, they respond well to treatments, need shorter treatments and potentially less treatments than most adults.
How can Acupuncture Help?
Acupuncture can treat a plethora of childhood ailments including:
Sleep/Insomnia
Anxiety
Behavioral problems
Digestive disorders
Pain
Headaches
Asthma
Chronic Ear Infections
Chronic UTIs
What Are The Risks?
Acupuncture is a natural treatment. Most patients experience very little to no pain on insertion, although a small amount of bruising or slight swelling may occur.
