Children of all ages may experience anxiety, and though we wish this wasn’t the case, there are options to help them cope and manage.
Acupuncture and Chinese medicine is a natural and non invasive tool to help minimize feelings of anxiousness in kids of all ages.
Acupuncture and acupressure may be used with younger children starting at the age of 5 years old, as well as with adolescents and teenagers.
Some of the symptoms of anxiety in children that acupuncture and acupressure may treat are:
- Anxiousness
- GI upset
- Insomnia
- Bed wetting
- Difficulty with social settings
Treatment type and length will be based on a child’s age, and may vary based on the child’s comfort level.
