Acupuncture and Children

If you have even a passing interest in the topic of “acupuncture”, then you should take a look at the following information. This enlightening article presents some of the latest news on the subject of “acupuncture”.

As parents, we all want our children to be happy and healthy. Consider the idea that acupuncture might be a wonderful way to treat your child’s health. Acupuncture can be good preventative treatment, as well as a technique to cure various symptoms. In China, some acupuncture professionals in China are paid only as long as their clients remain healthy!

Your first question might be if any children are actually acupuncture clients? Sure! Nearly all children find acupuncture treatments very easy, even enjoyable. Especially the younger ones, for acupuncture needles are not painful, and younger children don’t have our “a needle is painful” association that adults do. Children also seem to be more aware of their bodies than adults, and can feel themselves feeling better quite quickly. Also, the improvement in energy and vitality is often so clear with children.

Are there differences for acupuncture treatment with children? The general treatment is similar, determining the locations and times to insert needles in order to effect the treatment. (Needles are inserted to different depths depending on the treatment, anything from just under the skin up to a maximum of a few inches. Even so, the needle insertion does not hurt. Sometimes an insertion can be described as a “slight pinch”, but once the needle is in, it isn’t felt at all unless it is moved.) The number of needles and the number of treatments for children is generally less, for their very active bodies respond quickly to less stimulation. Because of this, acupuncture treatments for children often bring noticeable results very quickly.

You can see that there’s practical value in learning more about “acupuncture”. Can you think of ways to apply what’s been covered so far?

Another good reason to visit an acupuncture clinic with your child is that the diagnosis uses a number of different aspects: physical symptoms, observed physical signs such as the pulse and condition of the tongue, behavioral symptoms such as anger, aggression, depression, an even external physical conditions and the time of year. A goal of acupuncture is to bring the whole person into harmony: physically, emotionally, mentally, and socially. This attention to the child as a whole is of great benefit, both to the child and to your whole family.

You can bring your child in for an acupuncture visit to maintain their health, for a physical symptom, or for a behavioral problem. One common problem that frequently responds quite well to several acupuncture visits is the problem of bed-wetting. Some children have the problem disappear after one acupuncture visit; others may require a few more visits. Interestingly, most parents are aware that the child has negative emotions, and assume that of course it stems from having wet the bed. However, a number of parents report that, after thinking on it, that actually sadness or other emotion preceded the bedwetting by several weeks. This is not always true, but there is often a connection other than the assumed “wet the bed then feel bad” connection.

Something that you may want to discuss with your acupuncture practitioner is child vaccinations. As time goes on, more vaccines seem to become available for a wider range of diseases, as the recent popularity of the chicken pox vaccine. Most acupuncture practitioners have a list of vaccines they still strongly recommend, such as the vaccine against polio. It is worthwhile to discuss the various vaccines with your acupuncture practitioner. So, please consider an acupuncture practitioner as a wonderful health specialist for your child.

Don’t limit yourself by refusing to learn the details about “acupuncture”. The more you know, the easier it will be to focus on what’s important.

Mens Globe Shoes – Globe Pulse Sneakers $69 The Pulse sneaker from Globe is a perfect fusion of athletic styling and skate comfort. The white striping and mid-sole wink at purely athletic shoes, as does this pairs great light weight. Inside, however, these sneakers ignore those style details completely . The tongue is extra wide so it can handle the wide-set lace plackets, and padded thick to match the ankle walls, and extra stiff heel. The black outer gets a few extra details added from Globe, in white, and the leather/synthetic material will help it to keep that cool monochrome look. Our favorite detail of all, however, is the gum-colored sole that extends up the back of the heel. Its the perfect detail to finish blurring the line between skate, and sport shoe. Solid black body with white accents. Extra padded tongue, and ankle padding. Gum-colored sole, extends up heel. Globe logos in matching white. Size 10 pictured.
