At my Acupuncture practice in Orange, I am often asked by my patients, "How old do you have to be to get Acupuncture?" While this is something that most people might wonder, the motivation for the question is often that their own children are suffering from something that they have not been able to effectively treat using western medicine.
The reality is that I have done Acupuncture on my 3 year old son, and if you could get your kids to sit still, you could do it on them at an even younger age! There is no reason that a child should have to suffer if a solution cannot be found at the general practitioner's office. Chinese medicine and Acupuncture have a long, rich history of treating pediatric problems, using such modalities as simple as applying a slice of raw ginger to a specific Acupuncture point.
You see, because kids have such abundant energy and internal resources, they are able to self correct problems much easier once proper treatment has been given. And if their path can be corrected as soon as possible, then it can change the course of their life and take them to a very different place down the road. That's why it is important to address pediatric issues immediately, and some patient's even bring their children in right away at the slightest hint of a cold or flu!
By correcting health issues early on in life, you are putting your children on a path to success and vitality, one that I assure you they will thank you for one day.
