Acupuncture for Infants is Safe and Works - new study reveals

30/10/2012

I have trained with the wonderful Julian Scott, who specialises in paediatric acupuncture. My training included treatment protocols for Enuresis (bedwetting) & ADHD (Hyperactivity disorder) and it is absolutely amazing how responsive children are to treatment! I also had a fantastic opportunity as part of my clinical rotation in China to attend a paediatric hospital and saw many children being treated, using acupuncture, cupping and auricular (ear) acupuncture.

I know the thoughts of having your baby needled
is not a plesant one but with acupuncture the child is held comfortable in mum or dad's arms and the acupuncture points are needled and removed straight away so it's all over and done with before you know it and the results are seen so quickly in children!

I’d like to thank Niamh for all her treatment and care during my last pregnancy. I came to Niamh requesting help to keep my blood pressure down because on my previous pregnancies I was on medication for BP which I wanted to avoid on my third pregnancy. Niamh treated me on a regular basis and I avoided medication and high BP issues. I also had 2 previous inductions and I really wanted to avoid a third induction. Niamh started pre-induction treatment a few weeks before my due date and then worked up to the full induction the week of my due date and I was delighted when I started labour myself 3 days after my due date and baby was born soon after that. Niamh did a great job and gave me the outcome that I wanted. I’d highly recommend Niamh because she is friendly, approachable, very professional and thrives to achieve the best treatment for her clients.

I visited Anam Mai Acupuncture for treatment for post natal depression, anxiety and stress, and found it to be extremely effective.

Niamh has a natural caring attitude towards her clients, and a real passion for her career. In this way, she earns your trust and you feel able to put yourself completely in her hands.

For those who have never tried acupuncture, Niamh is always ready to explain what she is doing and how this will be effective. She has clearly been trained very well in her chosen profession, and her love for this shows through.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Niamh and acupuncture to my friends and family. I found that she was able to help me enormously, and I am grateful to her for this

I attended Niamh in Anam Mai Acupuncture throughout my third pregnancy and found the sessions really beneficial. I had never overly been a fan of needles before, but I found that I really looked forward to my treatments with Niamh. Her easy manner and quiet confidence allowed me to relax and leave my stress behind. I found the acupuncture treatments wonderful for blocked sinuses and pregnancy swelling in my legs and ankles. I went for weekly treatments and the last treatment I had was two days before I gave birth to my beautiful baby boy at home after a short and wonderful labour. Thank you Niamh for all your help and support throughout my pregnancy and post-natally!
