Pediatric Care

At Fern Acupuncture and Family Wellness, we offer gentle, effective care for children of all ages—from infants as young as three months to teens—using the principles of East Asian medicine to support healthy development, strong immunity, and emotional well-being.

Children often respond quickly and positively to acupuncture, though treatments for young ones are typically non-invasive. Dr. Elise Lasko uses a combination of acupressure, gentle massage, gua sha, magnets, and ear seeds to stimulate acupuncture points and balance the body’s energy without the use of needles. These treatments are safe, calming, and tailored to your child’s comfort and developmental stage.

Pediatric acupuncture can help support:

  • Digestive concerns (colic, reflux, constipation, diarrhea)

  • Sleep disturbances and night waking

  • Frequent colds or ear infections

  • Allergies and asthma

  • Skin conditions such as eczema

  • Teething discomfort and developmental transitions

  • Anxiety, tantrums, or emotional dysregulation

  • ADHD or sensory sensitivities

In addition to in-office treatments, Elise provides parents with simple tools and techniques they can use at home to extend the benefits of care. Whether your child is experiencing a specific health issue or you simply want to support their immune system and overall wellness, pediatric acupuncture offers a natural, holistic path to lifelong health.
