New Book A Practical Guide to Pediatric Acupuncture: The Art of Treating Children

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.
