PEDIATRICS (SHONISHIN)

 

Acupuncture is a safe and very effective treatment for Pediatric issues. It is becoming increasingly common as both a preventative medicine as well as an alternative to antibiotics, other pharmaceuticals, or more invasive procedures. Contrary to what one might expect, children enjoy visiting their acupuncturist, and parents often report that their children remind them to make appointments! At Applepuncture, if acupuncture is indicated, we use the thinnest needles available when treating children, and children are amazed how easy it is. Treatment may also involve dietary counseling as well as lifestyle counseling and homework. Parents accompany their child in the acupuncture treatment room. Children's reactions to acupuncture are quite unlike their reactions to immunizations because they do not feel much from acupuncture needles. Applepuncture can effectively help your child with:
