Syndromes and Diseases We Treat

David treats children for a wide range of issues, including respiratory diseases, digestive problems, autism, vaccinations, and many other conditions. He has a particular interest and expertise in working with children with autism and has achieved impressive results in improving their symptoms. Although David specializes in pediatrics, he also treats adults for a wide range of ailments.

Colds & Respiratory Issues

Acupuncture and herbs are highly effective for all respiratory diseases, including colds, flus, asthma, ear infections, and pneumonia. These treatments can help children recover faster from respiratory illnesses and reduce the risk of recurring infections.

Digestive Issues

Lack of appetite, constipation, and food allergies are among the most common syndromes that children experience. Gas, bad smelling stools, protruding abdomens, curdles in spit-up, grunting at night (babies), poor sleep, and many more symptoms are all signs of problems in the digestive system. Acupuncture and herbs can help clear the digestive tract and strengthen it to prevent these problems from recurring.

Autism

David has a subspecialty in autism and has achieved impressive results in improving the symptoms of many children with autism. While he does not claim to "cure" autism, his treatments have shown significant progress in speech, attention, affection, focus, and digestive issues.

Vaccinations

Many parents ask about whether they should vaccinate their children. David does not make specific recommendations, but he can help support children before and after vaccinations. Acupuncture and herbs can help prevent vaccine reactions, and in case there is a reaction, they can shorten the duration and severity of the symptoms. If parents choose not to vaccinate, David can help ensure that diseases do not progress beyond the child's ability to fend them off.

What Else?

Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help kids with pretty much anything! Most parents treat David as their primary care provider, coming here first for advice and treatment. He has effectively treated eye disorders, Down's Syndrome, ADD/ADHD, Tourette's, learning disorders, speech issues, Sensory Processing disorders, bedwetting, sleep problems, skin issues, and many more conditions.
