Acupuncture tends not to be used to treat children as often they tend to be afraid of needles. However, once their initial fear is overcome often the short-term discomfort is worth the long-term results. Children are often surprised at how relaxing it is and the positive effects it has on their energy levels.
Acupuncture is suitable for children aged between 6 to 18 years. It is mostly painless, often associated with a tingling sensation (like pins and needles) or a dull ache. Unlike adults, a simple in-and-out technique is adopted and fewer needles are used. An initial treatment is 1-hour. Follow-ups sessions are 30-minutes.
