"Pediatric acupuncture and Chinese herbs treat a wide variety of children's conditions including digestive disorders like colic, poor appetite, picky eating, diarrhea, constipation etc; lung problems including asthma, infections, colds, flu, recurrent ear infections etc; injuries and orthopedic disorders; behavioral problems including ADD/ADHD; genetic disorders including Tourrette's Syndrome, Autism, Down's Syndrome; and others including eye disorders, vision problems, bedwetting, nightmares, poor sleep, and headaches to name a few. Almost any disease or syndrome can be treated or managed using traditional Chinese medicine, without any of the side effects typically encountered in Western medical settings.
