1-Hour Live Webcast

Overview

During this brief 1-hour webinar you can learn more about acupuncture for the pediatric population.

Description

Children possess a very young and strong Qi; therefore, require less acupuncture points accessed and lower stimulation than adults. As they go through their developmental phases, they transition through the five elements commonly referenced in Eastern medicine. Subsequently, the approach to pediatric acupuncture if different than working with adults and often requires the provider to have a good Qi balance and storytelling skills to have a positive connection with the child.

Learning objectives

At the conclusion of this LIVE webcast physician participants will be able to:

  • Demonstrate the recommended approach for working with pediatric patients.
  • Discuss the benefits of combining acupuncture with self-hypnosis.
  • Describe treatment styles that should be avoided when working with the pediatric population.
  • Recognize the use of the five elements within all the developmental states of a child’s life.
