Question
The hospital diagnosis was ADHD, and this condition has been present for a year now, with varying symptoms. Currently, the child’s head and neck are constantly moving, sometimes accompanied by arm movements. The child himself says that he doesn’t move when he focuses his attention. Can acupuncture help my son’s condition?
Answer
If a child’s brain function is normal and causes such as lead are ruled out, acupuncture can be performed, but it is recommended to combine it with rehabilitation training. Normal attention training, sensory integration training, and brain function biofeedback can all improve symptoms, but the process may take longer. It is advisable to check with the local large children’s hospital or the department of attention deficit or child care for any relevant rehabilitation training programs. It is better to seek treatment at a regular professional three-level A hospital.
