Stroke Treatment
Most stroke patients often have movement problems due to paralysis or weakened limbs. They also have difficulty with speech and swallowing ability due to paralysis or muscle weakness. Depression and memory problems are also complications of stroke.
The process of recovery or rehabilitation for stroke patients is very important to help the patient regain his or her functional ability and thus achieve a more meaningful quality of life. The rehabilitation process for stroke patients involves physiotherapy and speech therapy.
There are several traditional treatments that can help or complement modern treatments in the process of rehabilitation of stroke patients including massage, acupuncture and others. Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine branch. Acupuncture in Chinese means treatment with a needle. Acupuncture practitioners use a fine needle puncture at the meridian point of the body that will work to break any barriers to Qi movement.
Stroke patients are recommended for acupuncture treatment and herbal medicine as it is the safest way of treatment. For faster recovery, the patient will also get a list of diet on what they should eat.
