Will it Hurt? Is it Scary?

One of the biggest concerns both children and parents have is whether or not acupuncture will be scary, painful or both. At Husami Integrative Acupuncture we take great care (and spend ample time) to ensure that each appointment is pain-free, worry-free and fun. Many patients won’t even need needles placed at all - points will be stimulated and kids can move around and play during the session. If needles need to be used we ensure that each child feels completely comfortable with the process and feels no pain. When needles go in it is normal for your child to feel a slight tingling sensation- and once needles are in no pain should be felt at all. Suzie has over ten years of experience treating children and teens and oftentimes these patients leave their fears and first-time acupuncture jitters behind more quickly than many adults. The key is the way it’s presented and the skill with which it’s applied - you can trust that at Husami Integrative Acupuncture your child will be in good hands.
