If your child has a health issue that isn’t improving with conventional treatment, or you’re looking for a gentler, more holistic approach, pediatric acupuncture may be a great fit. We take a whole-child approach, which means looking beyond symptoms to understand what’s going on at a deeper level. Every child is unique, and so is their care. Whether we’re supporting the immune system, calming the nervous system, or improving digestion, our goal is to help your child feel better, sleep better, and thrive.
"I cannot say enough about Chinese Medicine. Our son has been constipated for weeks. One session with Caitria and within minutes of it ending, he has had a bowel movement. The patience, devotion, and love she has for her job is apparent in every session"
“My daughter had been under the weather with a cough for a couple of weeks, so I brought her to see Caitria for acupuncture. The next day, her teacher emailed me saying she seemed to be feeling much better! The treatment totally did the trick to break up the congestion and phlegm in her chest.”
“Since we have started bringing our son to work with Caitria, we have had so many people comment on the improved clarity in his speech. He is talking way more now than ever before. I definitely believe that Chinese Medicine has helped him so much in a relatively short amount of time”
Children are often unsure or fearful of needles due to painful or traumatic experiences with shots or blood draws. Thankfully, pediatric acupuncture needles are hair-thin and provide virtually no pain sensation. They are so different from the average person's perception of a needle, that we use a different word to describe them. We call them "taps". This refers to the tapping/rubbing done to stimulate the acupuncture point, as well as the quick tap motion used to insert the needle.
Absolutely. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine work to stimulate the body's natural healing abilities and restore balance throughout the body. You can safely receive other treatment while receiving acupuncture. Chinese Medicine works synergistically with other healing modalities like chiropractic, massage, homeopathy, and energy healing as well.
We offer a variety of non-needle techniques for treatment, including laser stimulation of acupuncture points, acupressure, ear seeds, micro-current stimulation, and tui na (Chinese meridian massage). At your child's first appointment, we demonstrate the "taps" and ask the child if they'd like to try one. Typically after having the process explained and shown to them, children are open to trying it out. Since building your child's trust is of utmost importance, if they say they are not ready to try a "tap", we respect their wishes and move on to non-needle treatment options.
Connected Healing offers one on one remote sessions to determine the root of your child's health issues and customize a plan for healing.
