We provide specialized, non-insertion acupuncture treatment options for infants and children. It is called Japanese Shonishin Pediatric Acupuncture. Shonishin pediatric acupuncture is a highly specialized form of treatment therapy for infants and children that originated in Japan about 400 years ago.
Shonishin needles are not inserted at all but are instead lightly touched to the skin. The treatment consists of pressing, rubbing, tapping, or light scraping of the skin to provide a gentle stimulation that will improve the severity of the child's current symptoms as well as strengthen their overall constitution.
