Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi All, I have two new clients, and both are children around age 7 to 10. I haven't worked with children before, and wondered if I could get any tips. From what I understand the theories are the same, but you do not retain the needles as long. How long should I retain the needles? At what age do you start to retain the needles for 20 minutes or more? Any other basic ideas that I should be aware of? Thanks in advance!

For childern if soft lasers are used to stimulate acupoits the treatment becomes totally painfree rather kids enjoy it.The results are as good as with needles and even more rapid.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 Hi Laura, I would agree that a general rule for children is to use fewer needles and retain them for less time until the teen years. I would also encourage you to add a good dose of massage/tui na techniques. Children respond very well to touch therapies. Younger children especially, need touch therapy. While you could safely apply acupuncture to younger children, infants and toddlers do no yet have fully developed nervous systems and are not as responsive to the finer touch stimulation of needles but respond better to the more broad stimulation of touch especially stroking techniques.Depending on the problem being treated, acupuncture may not be required at all.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2004 Report Share Posted June 3, 2004 US? KHTSystems sell one, look for them on the net but I would recommend the one written by Dr. Yoo himself even if it is a little expensive. Thing is, if you know body ap. it is really easy to translate to the hand. 2004-06-03 kl. 17.53 skrev heylaurag: > Hi Holger, > > Thanks for the ideas--do you know of a good book? > > Laura > > > > Chinese Medicine , Holger Wendt > <holger.wendt@t...> wrote: >> Korean Handacupuncture is perfect for children!

Guest guest Posted June 4, 2004 Report Share Posted June 4, 2004 Hi, Laura and all, You can hold the needle of the points close to the skin and it does the same thing. Or, you can use Peds Tuina and that works very well. Let us know what works for you and patients, Pam Price Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Bauer Consider LLLT (low power laser) 50-150 mW Mean Output Power for children, especially those afraid of needles. Children usually are good responders to AP, and need less needles and less stimulation than adults. Also, as Matt daid, they often respond well to acupoint massage.
