If treatment is started within six weeks of a stroke, Acupuncture can make a huge difference.

Acupuncture for strokes is quite common in China. In the U.S. most people think of acupuncture for the treatment of pain and stress. There are protocols for treating stroke. And yes, the sooner the better after a stroke.

As you know, there is a golden time for stroke. As long as you go to a hospital and get treatment, an acupuncturist can help you to recover from it.

Yes indeed, acupuncture can help with the recovery after stroke. The sooner they start treatments, the more likely they are to have a full recovery.

Yes! Have acupuncture as soon as possible after a stroke. The results will be better, the sooner you do it. Acupuncture can also help prevent future strokes, which no other therapies or drugs can do. See an acupuncturist who has specific training in stroke treatment methods.

I think so. Acupuncture with massage and herbs can help you recover after a mild stroke. I suggest you try it.

Usually, yes, acupuncture can be very helpful in stroke recovery. Timing can be critical, your friend will want to start treatment as soon as possible. In my experience, starting treatment more than 6-8 weeks out from a stroke leads to less than ideal outcomes in terms of regaining lost function.
