What to Expect During a Pediatric Acupuncture Session?
During a session, the acupuncturist will take a detailed medical history and may examine the child's tongue and pulse to assess their overall health. The needles are then gently inserted into the acupoints and left in place for about 15 to 30 minutes. Sessions are typically painless, though some children may feel a slight tingling or warmth at the needle sites.
