Acupuncture for Children & Babies

Acupuncture is uniquely suited to set the course for lifelong wellness in children and babies, supporting natural development during their most formative years. By addressing imbalances early, pediatric acupuncture nurtures each child’s innate healing capacity while preventing minor issues from developing into chronic conditions later in life. Children respond remarkably well to acupuncture's gentle approach, which can effectively address common childhood concerns such as digestive issues, sleep disturbances, behavioral challenges, and frequent illnesses. Having an acupuncturist on your child’s healthcare team can support physical and emotional development, hasten recovery from illness, and offer treatment that naturally compliments conventional care. At Cinnamon Rabbit, we take pride in helping families establish a foundation of wellness, setting the stage for children to understand the importance of balance, and helping them learn to listen to their body's wisdom as they mature.

We understand that some parents may have concerns about acupuncture for their children, particularly around needle sensitivity. Although fear of needles is common among children, many children find that they don’t mind (and even enjoy!) the sensation of receiving acupuncture. The key is patience and honoring the process of treatment. Our approach is rooted in play and collaboration, and children are encouraged to participate in their care. For children who are not comfortable with needles, we utilize other modalities that are equally as effective in many cases, including acupressure, laser therapy, pediatric tuina, cupping, and other techniques.
