Our Summary and Additional Comments:

Whether it's cold and flu, allergies, asthma or chronic illness, we find that children respond very quickly and positively to acupuncture treatment. In some cases dietary changes are necessary. We may also include herbal prescriptions as a part of a complete treatment plan. Treatment duration varies between 2-3 months on average. Typically we have kids coming in once per week. We also teach parents how to use simple acupressure techniques to support their children in the days between treatments.
