Pedia Pain Focus

Dr. Clara Cohen experienced the magic of acupuncture from a young age when she was able to recover from scoliosis related pain as a child.  She initially worked as a personal trainer, but felt a strong desire to help her clients in an even more impactful way. That’s when she discovered acupuncture.    Now a doctorate of Traditional Chinese Medicine and in practice for 18 years, she offers the introduction to acupuncture as something that doesn't cure or treat anything! Her abundant passion for natural medicine and harnessing the body's healing ability drives her practice.  Dr. Cohen says, “I’m an acupuncturist by day, but I’m a naturopathic doctor-wannabe by night.”    In this episode, Dr. Cohen shares some incredible stories of success from her pediatric patients over the years. We explore the use of acupuncture for pain management, her best practices for treating children, how she promotes healing at all ages and what healthcare professionals need to know about acupuncture and counseling their patients arou
