Acupuncture for Children
Acupuncture for Pediatrics Health
Every child deserves to be loved, cared for, and celebrated; this is what we believe here at HopeSpring Wellness, and what we strive to achieve with our gentle, child-centered care. Our goal is to help children feel calmer and stronger, while offering parents guidance and reassurance on their journey.
We offer laser acupuncture as an alternative for children who are very young, or may be needle-sensitive.
We have never, and will never see children as just their conditions or symptoms; we believe in holistic, integrative healthcare, and that is what we provide with our pediatrics acupuncture.
What are the benefits for my child?
This is something difficult to answer, as every child's case is different. However, our clinic has tried and proven experience with:
-
ADD/ADHD support
-
Autism spectrum support
-
Anxiety
-
Sleep
-
Digestion problems
-
Immune system support
This is by no means an exhaustive list. Acupuncture for children can both assist with cognitive development and functioning, as well as strengthening the body's immune systems and regulating stress responses. It can assist with attention span and enhance memory. We also support nervous system balance, as well as emotional regulation and brain health needs such as ADD, ADHD, and autism spectrum support.
What the benefits of acupuncture for your child look like will depend on your child's specific circumstances; our acupuncture treatments are always customized to fit your child, as to best support their healthy development.
Laser Acupuncture
Laser acupuncture is a specialty of our clinic, and offered as an alternative for young children, and those sensitive to needles and pain. This is a low-energy, stress-free alternative to the traditional needles used in acupuncture.
Laser acupuncture also serves as a gentle introduction for your child's body to acupuncture as a whole. As time passes and your child gradually acclimates to the feeling, laser acupuncture can be phased out for acupuncture with traditional needles upon the parent and/or guardian's request.
A typical session
Our rooms are all able to accommodate both the child(ren) and their guardians. We always ensure the child is comfortable before proceeding. Acupuncture is done on the scalp, the body, or the ear depending on the child's situation. If traditional needles are being used, they are ultra-fine and delicate; there is no pain or stress -- only gentle rejuvenation and healing.
