ACUPUNCTURE FOR CHILDREN
We provide acupuncture for children, and little people are our unique clients. We make sure they get the gentlest treatment. Pediatric acupuncture works the exact way acupuncture for adults works. We create a therapeutic program for your child and use the same acupuncture points and meridians. The significant difference is that kids respond to acupuncture faster than adults.
CAN ACUPUNCTURE BE DONE ON CHILDREN
Acupuncture for kids is safe and gentle, and we see children as young as four years old. In addition, we offer Shonishin (pediatric Japanese meridian massage with small specialized tools) for kids under the age of four. Other modalities that we provide for children are massage and craniosacral therapy, cupping, and herbal therapy.
