Kids Acupuncture Steps of Care
Step One CHILDREN'S INITIAL ASSESSMENT
-
This includes TWO sessions that allow us to determine imbalances in your child's body and it helps us determine if regular acupuncture or light therapy treatment is better for your child
Step Two RELIEF & CORRECTIVE CARE
-
Your child's body talks
Your child's life story impacts their health. When the body develops imbalances of balance it starts talking with symptoms! Our job is to understand your child's unique story and how it has impacted their health.
-
Measure
Here we learn about your body by utilizing both modern science (AcuGraph) and traditional diagnosis methods (tongue and pulse diagnosis).
-
Your child's first treatment
Change begins with the very first treatment. The acupuncture will start teaching your child's body how to re-learn its optimal function and its innate ability to heal. During the first session we will determine if acupuncture with needles or Light Therapy is best for your child.
Step Three WELLNESS CARE

Time to thrive!

-
Benefits of regular acupuncture!
Whether with Light Therapy or acupuncture with needles, kids experience less colds, better energy and focus in school and are generally happier!
Light Therapy & Insertive Options
LIGHT THERAPY FOR KIDS
-
What is Light Therapy?
We use two types of cold lasers: Red (450 nm) and Blue (635 nm). We use these frequencies of light on specfic acupuncture points customized for your child. The treatments have no sensation and are extremely effective!
-
Why Light Therapy vs Acupuncture with needles?
Most children are afraid of needles due to painful previous injections in their doctor's office. Light therapy is great for younger children that may have difficulties sitting still and enjoying a rest during acupuncture treatments with needles.
-
Can you switch to needles later?
Yes! We like kids to transition eventually. Why? Acupuncture coupled with a nap (AcuNap) is powerful! Who doesn't feel better after a nap?

Acupuncture for kids
With acupuncture one size does not fit all. Some children are more senstive and/or nervous about the thought of acupuncture. That's alright, Light Therapy is a good fit for them. Our job is to understand your unique story and how it has impacted your health.
