 What is a stroke?A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is restricted, leading to the death of brain cells due to a lack of oxygen. This can result in permanent damage and disabilities affecting functions such as speaking, moving, or thinking. The aftermath of a stroke can be very frustrating, especially if you find yourself unable to perform simple daily activities as you did before. How can acupuncture help?Acupuncture is an effective complementary treatment for stroke rehabilitation. It can enhance blood flow and circulation, which helps deliver essential nutrients and oxygen to damaged brain cells, potentially aiding in their recovery. Additionally, acupuncture can reduce pain and muscle tension. It may also promote neuroplasticity, the brain’s ability to reorganize itself by forming new neural connections, which is crucial for stroke recovery. Furthermore, acupuncture may improve motor function as well as speech and communication skills.
