How Pediatric Laser Acupuncture Can Naturally Support Children with ADHD
Gentle, effective care from a licensed acupuncturist who understands energy, focus, and children.
As a parent, it’s hard to watch your child struggle with focus, impulsivity, or restlessness. If your child has ADHD—or you suspect they might—you may be looking for options beyond medication. Are you looking for a side effect free treatment that is natural and easy for you and your child? Many families are now turning to pediatric laser acupuncture as a gentle and effective way to support kids with ADHD symptoms.
I’m Dorothy Pang, licensed acupuncturist at Pang Acupuncture and Wellness, and I specialize in caring for both children and adults using modern, pain-free laser acupuncture. My work with children who have ADHD has been one of the most meaningful parts of my practice, especially because I can help them without needles, without medications, and without fear.
What Is Pediatric Laser Acupuncture?
Laser acupuncture uses low-level, cold laser light (no heat or pain) instead of traditional acupuncture needles. It stimulates acupuncture points on the body, just like traditional acupuncture, but in a completely non-invasive way—making it perfect for children. The treatment is also very quick, making it easy to accept and administer.
In my clinic, kids are often surprised by how easy and relaxing it is. They don’t feel a thing, and many actually enjoy coming in once they realize how good it makes them feel.
Can Acupuncture Help Kids with ADHD?
Yes—especially when it’s part of a whole-body approach to healing.
Research has shown that acupuncture may help improve:
Attention span
Hyperactivity
Sleep quality
Emotional regulation
Sensory sensitivity
For children with ADHD, this kind of support can make a huge difference. By calming the nervous system, balancing brain chemistry, and improving overall energy flow, laser acupuncture helps kids feel more centered and in control.
And because it’s safe, gentle, and free from side effects, it’s a great addition to a care plan—whether your child is taking medication or not.
Why Families Choose Me for ADHD Support
I’ve been working with energy since I was a child myself—I learned to meditate before I turned ten, and that early understanding of qi (energy) is the foundation of how I practice today.
What parents tell me they appreciate most is that:
I explain things clearly, in everyday language
I have a good rapport with kids.
I create a calming, kid-friendly experience—no needles required
I offer consistent, thoughtful care that supports long-term growth, not just short-term relief
What to Expect at a Pediatric ADHD Acupuncture Visit
Each session is customized to your child’s unique needs. We’ll start with a consultation where I learn about their health history, school challenges, sleep patterns, diet, and emotional state. Then, using a gentle laser device, I’ll stimulate key acupuncture points while your child relaxes—often with a book or a toy in hand.
There’s no pain, no poking, and no stress.
Most families begin to see subtle shifts after just a few sessions—better sleep, calmer moods, fewer meltdowns. Over time, those shifts often build into meaningful improvements in focus and daily functioning.
