Infants and children of all ages tend to respond quickly and dramatically to treatments with Acupuncture and Oriental Medicine.  They actually look forward to going to the doctor's office -- and leave the office calm, focused and ready for a good night's sleep.

For infants, toddlers and younger children, the treatments consist primarily of cupping, indirect moxibustion (herbal heat therapy) and bodywork -- while the needles are generally reserved for older children and adolescents.
