Neurological disorders

Stroke, as I’m sure you are aware, is a potentially life threatening medical emergency. Western medicine is often a very effective initial front-line treatment. Then, practitioners with deep experience with these issues on the Chinese Medicine can also accomplish quite a bit, rebuilding function and avoiding future problems. Acupuncturists unfamiliar with how to approach these often complicated cases should refer out.

For very general guidelines our “acupuncture for stroke” treatment protocols page has some of the more common ways to approach stroke treatment and our stroke treatment page has potential formulas, etc. Again, however, these conditions are not to be taken lightly and must be treated by someone with significant experience in those areas.
