Acupuncture, used safely in pediatrics and family medicine for 2,500 years, was endorsed for safety by the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2011 after reviewing 60 years of research. Its popularity in the US has grown since Nixon’s 1972 visit to China.

Now acupuncture is practiced at top US children's hospitals. Dr. Kim has reviewed the following source (Newsweek 2024-2025) and websites. Nearly every US children's hospital ranked in the top 30 of The World's Best Children's Hospitals offers pediatric acupuncture.
