Babies Love Acupuncture!

Pediatric Acupuncture and why it’s all the rage among toddlers and babies in Durango.

While a life of sleeping, pooping and snuggles may seem easy, being a baby can be tough. immature digestive systems that lead to colic or reflux, teething troubles, eczema, difficulty sleeping, and underdeveloped immune systems susceptible to respiratory and ear infections, can all contribute to fussy little ones. Enter early childhood and bed wetting, nightmares, anxiety, and ADHD can be added to the list of possible pediatric ailments.

Fortunately, at Durango Acupuncture Clinic, I have a gentle and effective, needle-free solution to all of those common munchkin woes, and it’s called Shoni Shin. Shoni Shin is a Japanese form of Pediatric Acupuncture which uses tiny little tools to activate meridians and Acupuncture points without the use of needles. This method works best for those under age 7 and often results in some very happy little patients. Regular visits are also wonderful for keeping your little one in tip top shape, by strengthening their immune and nervous systems and establishing a life long resiliency to colds and flus.

I’ve been combining Shoni Shin with Pediatric Tuina (a form of Oriental physical therapy) to treat children for over ten years. I’ve had great success in reducing colic, fevers, allergies, chronic ear infections, fevers and anxiety issues in babies and young children. A typical half hour visit can involve these modalities in addition to; turning forks, Moxa heat therapy, dietary and supplemental advice and I often teach specific Chinese massage techniques for mom and dad to try at home.

Additionally, I carry a line of safe and effective Chinese Medicine Pediatric tinctures to help with anything from chronic ear infections, to tummy troubles, tender teeth, colds and flus and to help your little one focus at school.

Don’t let your little hipster miss out on the benefits of Chinese Medicine, pediatric visits at Durango Acupuncture Clinic are only $45 and even less with pre-pay packages. Schedule your Pediatric Acupuncture appointment today!
