Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture therapy is an effective, safe, gentle & drug free treatment for a wide variety of health conditions. Acupuncture is a complementary therapy that originated in China and has been around for over 2,500 years.

Acupuncture is a healing technique used to balance the flow of energy, also known as chi, or qi. Qi is thought to flow through pathways in your body. The goal of acupuncture treatment is to remove energy blockages and balance your energy flow, which helps to regulate your emotional, mental, and physical health.

Acupuncture therapy treats a broad spectrum of health issues, utilizing the body’s own natural healing by helping to re-balance the body and relieve pain through adjustments to the body’s energy system. It is a safe, effective, and drug free treatment option for your health and wellness.

As your trusted practitioners, our goal is to make the Acupuncture appointment as relaxing as possible by tailoring treatment methods to suit both the parent’s and child’s needs and comfort. A pediatric patient of acupuncture has the choice between needles and needle-free techniques. An alternative to needles is acupressure, which can also be used to stimulate specific points in the body to bring about healing. Other modalities include cupping, gua sha, and the placing of ear seeds (a little sticker that has a seed on it that they wear home to help stimulate specific points, up to a week later!), which are also painless and highly effective treatments in pediatric acupuncture.
