At Tong Shen TCM Clinic, we offer acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine to support with post stroke recovery by improving circulation, reducing inflammation, and promoting neurological healing.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine can play a vital role in stroke recovery, offering a natural and supportive approach to regaining function and improving quality of life. Whether you’ve experienced an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke, these treatments are tailored to help restore what the stroke has affected.

Research has shown acupuncture to enhance stroke recovery when combined with traditional rehabilitation training, including improvements in neurological functioning (PubMed ID: 35812118) and reductions in limb spasticity (PubMed ID: 38428878).

Regaining Function: Acupuncture stimulates the nervous system and promotes circulation, which can support the recovery of motor skills, speech, and other functions impacted by the stroke. It also helps reduce muscle stiffness, improve coordination, and enhance mobility. This can help to decrease neurological impairment and improve ability to complete activities of daily living.

Improving Brain Health: Herbal medicine complements acupuncture by addressing overall brain health, reducing inflammation, and supporting blood flow. Carefully chosen herbs may also help restore energy and aid in healing after the initial event.

Holistic Support: Beyond physical recovery, these therapies can help manage emotional challenges, such as anxiety or depression, that often arise after a stroke. They can also support better sleep and overall well-being.

Acupuncture and herbal medicine work together to provide a personalized, gentle approach that focuses on your unique needs and goals, helping you regain strength, independence, and confidence during your recovery journey.
