Pricking is not even necessary for very young children!
The Shonishin method is a gentle meridian massage method from Japan.
With small instruments you move the energy in the meridians and in this way you can resolve the complaints.
Additionally, I sometimes use the electric point finder. This can also give small pulsations that stimulate the points.
I also regularly provide foot reflexology massage advice. These treatments, however subtle, are very effective.
For older children, simply inserting a few fine needles briefly is sufficient.
If needles are really an objection, massage treatments may be sufficient.
Complaints that we treat in this phase are mainly sleep problems, toilet training, digestion, allergies and emotional complaints.
For children from about 10 years of age, a slightly longer (almost painless) treatment with a few needles is sufficient.
The energy system continues to develop in teenagers towards the adult state.
Complaints such as insomnia, allergies, stress complaints, cycle complaints and mental complaints can be addressed with acupuncture in this phase.
