Here at Acupuncture Connections we are always on a mission to be learning more and better serving our community. Healthy life habits should begin in childhood and the less medications, antibiotics and stress that children have, the better off they are going to be as they move towards adulthood. Most people begin at the clinic with many years of health issues on their list. Children are incredible responsive to acupuncture because they don't have the same 'baggage' that us 'grown-ups' have! In fact, often the parents are jealous at how fast the kids improve and their AcuGraphs change.All of the practitioners here have been training to treat children with 'Light Therapy' which has no sensation and is quick and effective. So What is Light Therapy? We use a "cold laser" with two light frequencies: red and blue lightWe shine the light on key acupuncture points that will strengthen your child's bodyWhat to expect?It's fast - 10 min for follow-ups!It's fun, interactive and performed in our private offices away from the groupHow will Light Therapy help my kids?Our goal here is for you and your family to thrive! Regular acupuncture will help give your child a step up in reaching optimal health: better energy and focus, fewer colds and allergies, more restorative sleep and less medication use.Many children already have significant health issues because imbalances in the body may have already started. Below are a few of the things that we see commonly in our clinic:What do we commonly treat?Ages: 3-14 yrs*Cold Prevention*Allergies*Moodiness*Digestive issues*Behavioral issues - anger, worry, ADHD / ADD, poor concentration*Poor immune system*Sleep issues*Wellness!Age: Newborns to toddlers*Colic*Failure to thrive*Eczema*TeethingThere have been several research studies showing that laser acupuncture can be particularly effective for headaches, nausea (supporting children through chemotherapy) and asthma.This new area of treatment is really exciting for us, so please talk to us in the clinic if you have any questions about bringing in your child for treatment or referring a friend to the clinic. Hope to see more little ones benefiting from this powerful medicine soon!
