Post-stroke disability with acupuncture treatment

Stroke can  cause serious and lasting disability, particularly in senior people. it can lead to loss of independence in life and the need for certain type of care  at home or in a nursing home. the disability always involves impairment of more than one function with the limbs, sometimes, if loss of strength in the right side limbs is very often combined with disability of speech, and severe strokes can cause loss of consciousness, exhaustion, frustration and depression. Some strokes may  affect control of the unrination or bowel movement, or the function to swallow . but most of strokes affect mobility of limb or face muscle, and the patients with mobility  impaired would rely  on a wheelchair, or certin type of care.

             The acupuncture treatment has advantage in treatment of post-stroke disability , hemiplegia or loss of speech, no side-effect with the acupuncture treatment,  a patient after 20 times treatment under Mr. WANG got complete cured in limbs and speech, this patient even got stroke one year ago, so the acupuncture treatment in post-stroke rehabilitation is very effective.

           Even the patient couldn’t get complete recovery, after treatment of Mr, Wang, the muscle atrophy and joint pain were improved or stop the progress of complication.

            It is important for the patient to get acupuncture treatment in early stage, especialy in the first 6 months of stroke,  don’t wait the neurons are completely lost or impaired, so earlier treatment gets better result than late stage, but  the treatment still has effect in mid-stage or late-stage .
