What is Pediatric Acupuncture? 

Pediatric acupuncture is a safe, effective, and research-backed therapy that helps regulate the nervous system, improve circulation, and activate the body's innate, natural healing response. Using gentle, skilled acupuncture and acupressure techniques, ear seeds, soothing talk, and sensory integration techniques, Dr. Kim's treatments can be relaxing and uniquely tailored to each child’s comfort level to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
