Q & A
Q1: Can acupuncture help your child?
Yes, it can. If your child has a health problem that isn’t resolved promptly or is not responding well to Western medical treatments, chances are good Acupuncture can help. Acupuncture safely and effectively treats many common pediatric conditions and has been used in Asia for thousands of years. We focus on understanding your child’s health condition and creating an individual healing program that addresses your child’s symptoms along with the underlying root cause. Individual healing programs include a combination of Acupuncture or non-needle techniques
as below,
​* Acupressure & tuina massage​
* Recommend changing diet and lifestyle​
* Prescribing natural remedies like Herbal medicine ​
* Seasonal and preventative support​

Q2: Does my child have to do Acupuncture, or other options available?
We have many different treatment options for children, so Acupuncture is optional. On the first visit, we will show your child what “taps” are and ask them if they want to try it. When most kids see how easy and fast it is, they’ll try it. However, we need to build trust with our children. So, if your child is still reluctant, we can switch to non-needle techniques like micro-current, acupressure, ear seeds, or a special pediatric massage called Tuina. Non-needle techniques have a similar therapeutic effect to Acupuncture and can be effectively used instead. We find that, in most cases, they will eventually try Acupuncture once we build trust and rapport with a child.
