Traditional Chinese Medicine has been helping children maintain wellness for 2,500 years. Fundamentally, it works on the principle that balancing, restoring and revitalizing the human energy field is the gateway to health and well-being. Pediatrics is a specialty of Chinese medicine that has proven over two millennia to be safe and effective in addressing both acute and chronic conditions of childhood.

In addition to the cumulative experience developed and recorded by Chinese pediatricians over thousands of years, patients at our clinic benefit from the growing body of biomedical research on the positive effects of both acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine on common pediatric conditions. Traditional Chinese medicine can address a broad array of physical and psychological conditions by helping the body restore its own inherent templates for balanced health. These approaches all work at the level of the body’s vital energies which, when in dynamic balance, constitute our foundation for wellness.

After biomedicine, traditional Chinese medicine is the world’s largest continuous medical system that serves the healthcare needs of 1.5 billion people annually. Practitioners in Massachusetts are licensed by the Board of Medicine and undergo over 3,000 hours of training including more than 750 hours of supervised clinical practice.
