Acupuncture for children

Pediatric acupuncture is in the news again!

Check out this amazing Good Morning America clip – the kids in the video really seem to enjoy acupuncture. The tools that the practitioner is using with the toddler are called Shonishin (sho=little, ni=child, shin-needle), a Japanese acupuncture technique which uses non-penetrating needles and tools to work with children.

It’s also great how they discuss teens using acupuncture. Going through puberty can be a struggle both physically and emotionally, and I feel acupuncture would be a good way to calm the mind and allow teens to feel more comfortable with their changing bodies.

Hi,
I tried to check out the video, but I think it moved, because the link showed me a different video about student problems…

I fixed the problem- thank you for letting me know it changed.

The video clip clearly states that the kids are really enjoying the treatment.
