The Point’s non-invasive methods help treat common ailments in children in a gentle and natural way.

 

When it comes to children, acupuncture and TCM are well equipped to deal with many of the challenges and illnesses that inevitably occur during the beginning stages of life.

 

Treatment for children differs from adults and usually follows slightly different protocols with regards to acupuncture, herbs, and treatment duration. Acupuncture is still very useful and children are very sensitive to its action, so needles are retained for much shorter time periods with fewer points. Herbal medicine dosage and frequency is adjusted to accommodate the size and constitution of the child.

 

Some of the health concerns for children we see here include:

 

Colic

Digestive disorders

Repetitive ear infection

Lack of development

Immunization support

Skin disorders

Repetitive cold and flu

Asthma

Autism

 

Why choose Acupuncture and TCM?

 

 

Gentle and safe interventions – Your child’s well-being is the highest priority during treatment. With the use of minimal acupuncture and safe herbal medication, your Chinese Medicine doctor will ensure any current problems will be addressed without creating any additional problems for your child.

 

Clearing the foundation of sickness – A small body is very open to new illness, and the growing body may also be prone to burying the seeds of illness deep inside. By getting to the underlying root of the sickness, acupuncture and TCM can help to clear “lingering pathogens”, preventing recurrence and creating better overall health for the longer term.

 

Ongoing support – Understanding your child as an individual and their circumstances is integral to our approach. We are dedicated to finding practical and effective solutions that can maintain a healthy well-being for your family.
