FAQs

At what age can children begin acupuncture treatment?

Children as young as six weeks old can have acupuncture treatment.  Babies are energetically very sensitive and typically change and heal quickly, with short and easy treatments.

 

Home visits for newborn babies and postpartum moms can be arranged.  Contact me to find out more!

What about the needles?

Acupuncture for kids is virtually painless.  I use a special needling technique using needles so fine they are about the size of a strand of hair.  A rapid needling technique is used, where the needle is inserted and immediately taken out. Babies and children only have to sit still for a few seconds at a time.

 

We take a gentle, flexible approach to treating kids which includes time to play and gain rapport during each treatment. Needling is never forced, and we have many non-needle techniques we can use to create an effective, easy treatment.
