Pediatric Acupunture

Pediatrics is one of the oldest specialties within Chinese Medicine. Centuries of vast clinical experience have proven Pediatric Acupunture to be safe and effective.

Most children are not afraid of the tiny pediatric acupuncture needles. Specialized techniques for children ensure a comfortable experience.

Children often find it easy to relax during their treatment. It has been our experience that children familiar with acupuncture will request a treatment when they are not feeling well. Essential oils, applied to specific acupuncture points, are also an effective way to treat pediatric conditions and can be used with or without needles.

Common benefits of Pediatric Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine are: Stronger Immune System, Fewer Colds, Better Digestion, Increased Concentration, and more Restful Sleep.
