Does Acupuncture hurt? This is a question often asked.  The answer is: well, it may.  Acupuncture does require puncturing of the skin, and although the needles are extremely fine, there can be a brief sensation of pain. But this depends on the individual's pathology, constitution, and sensitivity and is generally rather mild.

Pediatric treatment is a specialized area. It requires that the clinician have an understanding of growth and development, as well as how to create an environment that feels safe and fun for the child.

Depending on age and disposition of the child, needles may or may not be used in session, and likely not in the initial visits.  Alternate and equally effective techniques can be used for intervention with children.  Children's developing physiology often requires less invasive and intensive intervention and often resolution of pathology happens more rapidly with kids.  Herbal medicine is modified and dosages are typically much smaller for children.  Pediatric massage is also and effective intervention that parents can be educated in for carryover into the home environment.
