Pediatric Care
Gentle, effective support for children of all ages.
If your child is struggling with a recurring health concern, not responding well to conventional treatments, or just isn’t recovering as expected, pediatric acupuncture may be a helpful option. Acupuncture is a safe and effective way to treat children, and many kids begin to enjoy the process once they see how gentle it truly is. Parents are often amazed at how quickly children respond to treatment.

Non-Needle Techniques
Not all children love the idea of needles, especially if they associate them with vaccinations or blood draws. Acupuncture needles are extremely thin and feel nothing like a shot — but if your child is hesitant, we offer several gentle, non-needle options.
These may include:
Micro-current stimulation
Ear seeds
Acupressure
Pediatric Chinese massage (Tui Na)
Our goal is always to find a method your child feels comfortable with so treatment is relaxed, positive, and effective.
