Pa-chi Piezo stimulator- its use in pediatric care
Discover the Pa-Chi Piezo Stimulator : Needle-Free alternative for Children
Perfect for sensitive children, the Pa-Chi Piezo Stimulator offers a gentle yet effective way to build trust and experience the benefits of Traditional Chinese Medicine’s without penetration. Designed to stimulate pressure points through a targeted electrical impulse, this tool is a versatile option for pediatric care.
How does it Work?
The Pa-Chi Piezo Stimulator operates by generating a small, controlled electrical pulse with each press of its activator. Inside the device, a piezo crystal creates a quick pulse, around 10 microseconds, with a peak voltage of up to 10,000 volts. This pulse is applied directly to selected points on the body, helping to alleviate conditions and promote healing in a similar way to traditional acupuncture.
While the effects aren’t as long-lasting as needling, the stimulator works well on children as they generally react quickly to treatment.
What does it feel like?
Practiced safely by an acupuncturist, the Pa-Chi pen feels like a light static current. It is short lasting and unharmful to the body.
What to expect in a pediatric consultation
Pediatric treatments begin with a thorough intake to understand the child’s health concerns. The main tool used for pediatric care is Tuina Chinese massage, including techniques such as rubbing, tapping and kneading along the channels. Parents are welcome to participate by learning massage techniques to continue supporting their child’s well-being at home.
As trust builds and the child feels more at ease, I may incorporate additional tools like the Pa-Chi piezo activator and lastly, if the child is comfortable, scalp acupuncture.
Attentive communication and constant presence is key to conducting a successful treatment with children. They will never receive any treatment they haven’t agreed to.
Sessions are kept brief (30-45 minutes) to ensure the child remains comfortable and engaged.
