Laser Acupuncture is an alternative treatment to traditional needle acupuncture. This non-invasive technique uses laser stimulation to excite precise points on the body – the same points used in traditional acupuncture – to activate their functions and affect deep tissue layers.

​

The small laser lights are attached to the body using medical grade tape and remain in the same place for the duration of the treatment. This relaxing and painless stimulation transfers modulated energy into the meridian system while keeping stimulation consistently high.

 

This is not the same type of laser used in laser surgeries to burn or cut. Laser acupuncture is considered a “cold laser” as it does not produce heat, also called a low-level laser. Instead, low-level lasers can help regenerate cells, decrease pain, reduce inflammation, and improve circulation.  You feel absolutely nothing during the treatment and there are no adverse side effects. 

​

Pediatric Tuina is a safe and gentle Chinese massage for kids that can help relieve various childhood ailments. As one of the treatment approaches in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), physicians often use this type of massage with other treatments, such as acupuncture.

​

Pediatric tuina also adheres to TCM’s concept of syndrome differentiation and treatment. Our physicians will check the pulse and tongue of the child beforehand. Only upon confirmation of a diagnosis, an appropriate tuina massage session will be prescribed.

 

Using syndrome differentiation as a guide, physicians will determine specific parts or acupoints of the child’s body to work on. Tuina massage for children aims to balance yin (passive) and yang (active) energies, tonify the internal system, promote qi and relax the muscles.

 

In a tuina session, the therapist uses hand manipulation techniques like pushing, grasping, kneading, or rubbing in a light, fast, and soft motion. While tuina for adults and kids are generally the same, they differ in intensity.
