Pediatric, Fertility & Family Care
Pediatrics
Children have been treated effectively with East Asian Medicine for thousands of years. We can treat many common pediatric conditions ranging from digestive disturbances (constipation, diarrhea, food intolerances, reduced appetite, stomach pain, etc.), respiratory disorders (colds/flus, asthma, low immunity, etc.), mental and emotional issues (anxiety, depression, tantrums, difficulty focusing, ADD, ADHD, etc.), sleep issues, skin diseases (Eczema, fungal infections, rashes, warts, Seborrheic Dermatitis, etc.), as well as autoimmune conditions and neurosensory disorders. We use specialized modalities for children so we can address their unique patterns and personalities and support them as they grow. At Points of Health we provide pediatric acupuncture along with many non-needle techniques such as Shonishin (Japanese pediatric therapy), Tui Na and massage, aromatherapy, and micro current in order to provide a relaxing and restful environment for kids. We will help you develop a wellness plan that will best support your child’s unique constitution, remove imbalances, and restore wellness and vitality.

We are proud to carry on the 2000 year tradition of treating infertility effectively with East Asian Medicine. Our program works at the root of infertility by naturally balancing the menstrual cycle and improving the quality of eggs, endometrial lining, cervical fluid and sperm.
We treat infertility associated with anovulatory cycles, PCOS, endometriosis, fibroids, hormonal imbalances, sperm abnormalities and unexplained causes. All of our therapies are gentle and have a very low risk of side effects.
Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)
Acupuncture can effectively support you before, during and after In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) and Hormonal Therapies. Acupuncture can both increase the effectiveness of these technologies and alleviate the uncomfortable side effects.
Family Care
At Points of Health we are here to support your journey through fertility, your pregnancy as well as postpartum healing. During pregnancy, East Asian Medicine has much to offer including reducing morning sickness, headaches, insomnia, pain and tension, depression, anxiety, pelvic pain, as well and benefitting labor and delivery.
After the profound transformation of pregnancy and birth traditional cultures all over the world encourage new mothers to embrace what it known in East Asian Medicine as a “Sitting Moon,” referring to the first precious month postpartum. During this time mothers are meant to be replenished and nurtured along with babies. By setting aside this time to deeply nourish in the mother the baby is also deeply nourished. With nutrition, herbal medicine, acupuncture and supportive therapies we are also able to address any imbalances that may present during this sacred time such as; over and undersupply, mastitis, tension and pain, digestive disturbances, mood swings, depression, pelvic pain and discomfort. We will support you as you heal restoring balance to the mind, body and spirit.
