Pediatric Treatments

Jared West provides treatments for people of all ages, including children.  Depending on the child's comfort level, acupuncture and or acupressure treatments are used.  Acupressure is the stimulation of acupuncture points without needles.  Depending on the issues being treated, Jared will sometimes also teach the parents acupressure techniques to provide at home support.

Children often respond very well to Chinese medicine treatments.  Just like adults, it can help calm the nervous system, reduce pain, support immunity, clear allergies, improve digestion and more.  But, with children, the treatments are often adjusted to support their unique developmental needs. 

Jared West is a second generation acupuncturist who grew up with his mother, Karen Young, treating him.  At age 7, he also started studying acupressure and a branch of Chinese medicine called qi gong.  These experiences have helped give depth to the work he does with children.  A fundamental goal of Chinese medicine is to not only promote health but also longevity.  This can have value at any age but with children, it will hopefully support them for many years to come.
