Yes, it is safe for children and babies. In some cases, children respond more quickly to acupuncture than adults. If your child has an aversion to needles, the practitioner may recommend Acupressure or Tui Na Massage.
Two surveys were published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ). They found that the risk of serious injury from acupuncture is less than 1 in 10,000. This risk is much lower than that of most standard treatments. The needles used are single-use, sterile, and disposable.
