Fear is something that is learned, so most children aren’t nervous when they come in to get acupuncture.
The benefits of acupuncture for children
The benefits of acupuncture for children
Once we started treating children, we quickly realized how many children suffer from allergies, anxiety, skin conditions and digestive problems!
Many children just need that little extra healing power of pediatric acupuncture to help their bodies heal themselves and get them feeling better than ever.
Pediatric acupuncture is preventative medicine
We all know as children go to school they inevitably get sick, but acupuncture for kids can help boost the immune system and prevent your children from missing a day of school. While children might not be too happy about that, parents will definitely love it! Most parents are concerned that their children don’t sit still for very long. That’s okay!
Pediatric acupuncture techniques
There are several acupuncture techniques we use with children in our clinic in Massapequa.
In and out needling
With “in and out needling” the needle is placed in and then immediately removed.
This allows the child to play and receive treatment at the same time!
Retractable points
Another great technique we use requires a tool with a retractable point.
This allows stimulation of the area without using any needles at all.
Pediatric massage
Children love massage! Because children’s bodies are so new, a massage can often achieve the same goals as needles.
It’s also a great tool to teach parents to use at home!
With children, no two sessions are the same and that’s ok! It makes pediatric acupuncture treatments more fun and interesting every time.
Sessions are 30-45 minutes with children (just as they are with adults). This gives us enough time to play, treat the child and talk about other ways to help at home!
Get to the root cause of your child's health issues.
Whether you are managing chronic health issues, or interested in immune boosting treatments—give your child the healing power of pediatric acupuncture in Massapequa.
