Painfree acupuncture for children

Children naturally respond quickly to acupuncture treatment. By applying shonishin acupuncture, your child can be treated effectively without needles while he/she is sitting comfortably on your lap.

So how does such a treatment work?

During the treatment, small round instruments are gently rolled, stroked and tapped over the skin. Sometimes magnetic patches are placed onto the acupuncture points. Your child can move freely and experiences the treatment as a gentle massage.

Often parents will receive massage tips to use at home.

For children, the whole experience is relaxing and pleasant, and they often feel a little better right away. This treatment is also suitable for babies.

Since children recover faster than adults, they need comparatively fewer and shorter treatments. So, the faster your child recovers, the faster he/she will have more energy to develop and grow healthily.

The following complaints can be treated:

  • digestive complaints;
  • respiratory complaints;
  • infectious diseases;
  • hyperactivity;
  • quick irritation, agitation, anger, excessive cryng;
  • sleep complaints;
  • skin complaints;
  • ear infections;
  • persistent cold symptoms;
  • cystitis;
  • bedwetting later in life;
  • teething;
  • weak constitution.

Feel free to call me if your child has symptoms that are not listed here.
