Yes. Acupuncture is often very effective for children and teens, and many of them love it. Depends on the age of the kid, I can use some tool instead of needles or just give pressure to the points with my thumb to treat the issues.
There are general guidelines for the number of acupuncture sessions needed, which are based on the experience of acupuncturists:
Acute cases: 3-6 treatments for a lasting resolution.
Chronic cases: 6-10 treatments for positive changes, 10-20 sessions for consolidation of changes and more lasting changes.
It varies depends on your situation and your goal that which level of health you would like to achieve. I will discuss with you more based on your situation at your first visit.
Chinese traditional massage, often referred to as Tui Na, involves various hand techniques and manipulation along the body’s meridian points to stimulate qi flow, reduce muscle tension, and enhance body wellness. It differs from Western massage techniques in that it focuses more on point pressure and meridian lines.

While acupuncture and Chinese massage are safe for most people, certain conditions like skin infections, severe thrombocytopenia, or pregnancy might require precautions. We recommend consulting with our practitioners to discuss any health concerns you may have.
For acupuncture, it’s best to wear loose-fitting clothes to allow access to acupuncture points. For a massage, you will be asked to wear loose clothing or be appropriately draped during the session.

The frequency of treatments varies depending on the individual’s condition and response to therapy. Initially, more frequent sessions might be recommended, and as improvements are noted, the frequency may decrease.
