Children’s Acupuncture
Many parents are turning to TCM & acupuncture because it offers a safe, natural and effective approach to paediatric care.
It focuses on treating symptoms leading to a safe resolution of illness and preventing illness in the future by stimulating the body’s healing and restoring function.
Modern acupuncture treatments are done using painless acupuncture and non-needle treatment techniques, so even children afraid of needles will find the treatments easy and painless.
In Chinese medicine we believe that each child is unique and each treatment is customized to the child’s individual needs.
FAQ
Does Acupuncture for Kids Hurt?:
Acupuncture for kids is virtually painless.
Paediatric acupuncturists use a special needling technique using needles so fine they are about the size of a strand of hair. For young children a rapid needling technique is used, where the needle is inserted and immediately taken out. Babies and children do not have to sit still for more than a few seconds at a time.
Non Needle options are also available.
