I believe acupuncture, combined with herbs and sometimes massage, can help with speech problems.
Acupuncture will help with speech problems if they are caused by anxiety or fear in children. If the speech problem is due to an anatomical reason, that would affect formulating sounds, I would recommend the child see a speech therapist.
Yes
And also a speech pathologist
sometimes. It depends on what is going on. I encourage you to book a session with your practitioner of choice to get help with relief.
No, acupuncture may assist allergies. Speech difficulties should be assessed and treated by a Speech-Language Pathologist.
You'd have to ask someone in that line of work if that's your interest. That's not the type of activity I'd personally recommend to anyone.
I would call the practitioners in your area and ask them if they have worked with speech problems. You may find one who has successfully treated it.
It would depend on the cause/type of the speech problem. But for certain people acupuncture in conjunction with a speech therapist can be very helpful
It depends on cause of the problem (stroke or injury). Consult L Ac in your area.
All the best.
Yes, acupuncture can help with speech problems.
Maybe. I've seen some studies showing acupuncture improving verbalization among autism patients. This is a place where I'd combine acupuncture with more conventional speech therapy.
