Physical therapy is best to help weakness after a stroke
Yes, it's sooner the better. Acupuncture will help the circulation of energy and blood. Don't wait too long. You had better find an Acupuncturist/ Herbalist to get help.
Acupuncture treatment can help improve motor function and muscle strength, especially for muscle weakness during stroke rehabilitation. It is best to discuss your specific situation with ideally a licensed acupuncturist who has experience working with stroke patients as soon as possible. They can provide personalized advice based on your unique needs and help determine if acupuncture may be a suitable option for you.
I don't think acupuncture can do much to help muscle weakness. But it is commonly used for post stroke paralysis in China.
It is possible that acupuncture, especially with the added use of electric stimulation to the needles, can help with muscle weakness. - Dr. Hallie
Stroke causes not only weakness of muscles but the nerve re-connection. To achieve the best result post-stroke rehabilitation is to combine physical therapy and acupuncture based on my 35-year practice.

yes, this is something that will take longer to treat and is important that you are consistent.

Yes. Acupuncture with massage, and sometimes herbs, can help muscle weakness after a stroke. You will probably need 2-3 sessions per week for 4-8 weeks to see improvement, and eventually recovery.
Yes, the faster they get in to an acupuncturist, the more complete your recovery after stroke will be.
Yes, definitely! The sooner your friend receives acupuncture after the stroke, the better. Best results are within 6 months; however, even after one year you may get results. I say it's never too late to try. Be prepared for an initial course of 10-12 treatments. More may be needed. Please try it.
Usually, yes. Acupuncture can be an excellent treatment for most post-stroke issues. The trick to getting a good outcome is to start treatment as soon as possible. There is a window of time in which acupuncture can be very effective. Once outside that window, acupuncture's usefulness diminishes rapidly.
