A Practical Guide to Pediatric Acupuncture prepares practitioners for the treatment room by explaining clearly how to approach children and families with confidence and sensitivity and focusing on the 'how' of treatment. Rebecca Avern draws on 25 years of experience to share the subtleties that shape successful practice; from the first moments of connection with a child to the choices made when treatment proves challenging. Through case histories, she reveals her clinical reasoning step by step, demonstrating how theory can be applied, and adapted, to meet the needs of each individual child. Covering issues as varied as the impact of family dynamics, the complexities of working with neurodivergent children, and the realities of practice in a post-Covid world, this book offers both insight and reassurance. It is an indispensable resource for acupuncturists and students growing their pediatric practice.
