pediatric acupuncture for pediatric and adolescent care
Ideal for ages 2 to 17 for immune health, common cold, sore throat, flu, digestive health, mental health, female health, etc.
Pediatric acupuncture uses different modalities when treating the individual for their health condition(s). This allows a truly holistic, functional medicine approach to treating the health of young people. The modalities used are determined by the patient’s age, maturity level, body weight, height, and more. To really change how healthcare is treated, we have to start with the youth. Kids typically love the experience and feel relaxed while on the table and afterwards.
