Pediatric acupuncture is accomplished without needles. It is a simple, painless treatment suitable for many childhood maladies and is most useful for children from infancy through age 10, although older children up to age 12 also receive benefit from these non-invasive techniques.

When a small child is ill there are minute, almost imperceptible changes on the skin and the abdominal sounds are altered. These indicators guide the acupuncturist's hands. Gentle tapping and light stroking techniques are used for both assessing and treating the abdomen, back, head and the lower legs and arms of the child. I like the parent to hold the child while the short treatment is given. 

Children respond well to this delicate stimulation and their conditions can improve suddenly. The treatment is quick ( less than 10 minutes ), inexpensive and often immediately effective. Consider pediatric acupuncture for your child. You will both feel better.
