Acupuncture for Children

Children’s bodies tend to respond quicker to treatment so these sessions are shorter at 30-45 minutes, and are available up until 13 years of age. Babies and young children are treated without any needle insertion but instead by moving the qi with massage tools over the body. This method is pain free and press stickers may be used on acupuncture points as a take home tool. As the children become more comfortable and at an appropriate age, very fine needles may be used with child and adult consent. The acupuncture is very gentle.
