WHAT IS PEDIATRIC ACUPUNCTURE?

Traditional acupuncture is carried out by inserting very fine needles into the body at target points throughout the body. However, modern advancements in laser technology have allowed acupuncture to appeal to a wider population. Laser therapy has become a popular method of treatment among children and newborn due to being completely painless and extremely effective. It utilizes infrared light from a small device to target therapeutic points relevant to the treatment. Children are very comfortable and responsive to this type of treatment because it doesn’t involve needles but is just as effective.

WHAT DOES IT TREAT?

Pediatric laser acupuncture is very effective for eczema, allergies (food and environmental), colds and flus, irregular and unhealthy sleep schedules, ADD/ADHD, and many other conditions that adults also experience. Remember, acupuncture is a natural medicine that assists the body to make changes and stimulate the healing process.

A recent study conducted by Dr. Orhan Koca revealed that pediatric laser acupuncture can prevent bed-wetting, which is an often embarrassing problem for both the parents and children. The study involved 91 children suffering from bed-wetting who underwent four weeks of laser therapy that targeted points linked to the bladder, thus increasing nerve stimulation and relaxing the bladder. After just the four weeks of treatment, 40% of the children stopped bed-wetting.

Do you really use needles? Martha: Acupuncture usually does involve needles, but its actually about so much more than the needles, especially when it comes to treating children. It has a lot more to do with the meridians, which are networks of life force energy or qi that course through the body, and the acupuncture points, which are anatomically specific places where that energy pools, resonating with specific physiological centers and systems.Children are bundles of strong life force, evidenced in how quickly and dramatically they often become ill and then how quickly and dramatically they are able to heal. Along with their brains and bodies, their energy networks develop and grow over time. If you are around young children, you may have also noticed that moments of struggle in a child’s development or moments of illness are often followed by a big cognitive or physical growth spurt.- See more at: http://www.achildgrows.com/pediatric-acupuncture/#sthash.5VNI6FyV.dpuf
