Acupuncture and Chinese medicine can be very effective to treat stroke patients. The sooner you get care after your stroke the better.
Your body can be affected in many ways by strokes. The area affected by the stroke is determined by which part of the brain is affected.
Acupuncture restores circulation. It enhances blood flow and improves nerve function. It helps to bring the body back to normal functioning.
Here is an article on stroke recovery and acupuncture, as well as info on a movie about it called 9000 needles. I highly recommend this movie. http://www.ginsengdirect.com/pages/Stroke-Recovery-and-Acupuncture.html
