CHILDREN
Treating a child is more than treating a disease. It is giving someone their childhood back.
Dr Julian Scott
Children are amazing patients: open minded and quick to heal. My interest in working with children started when addressing severe asthma and later borderline Myalgic Encephalopathy in my own family. I now regularly see young patients and keep a box of toys in the treatment room.
A child’s system is still so fresh and dynamic, that a little intervention goes a long way. A treatment in childhood is like a pebble thrown into a lake: the ripple effects of the benefit will stay with the child for years to come. Often, indigestion and moodiness improve immediately, while serious problems can be corrected over time.
Acupuncture for children uses small needles and can safely be used even on babies. It is not uncomfortable!
Non invasive paediatric techniques are also a part of the treatment and I train parents to use acupressure and cupping on their children.
When working with children, parents become part of the team, administering acupressure and gentle massage at home. I use both paediatric acupuncture on children and a non-invasive Shonshin (meridian massage) technique, as well as moxa and cupping.
I regularly see young patients for:
- frequent colds
- asthma
- moodiness
- digestive issues
- congenital and growth factors
