Neurological Diseases

Stroke

There has been evidence that Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is an effective treatment for post-stroke recovery. Studies show that patients getting acupuncture treatment get well faster, perform better in self-care, require less nursing and rehabilitation therapy, and spend less overall on healthcare.

Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of the brain and spinal cord, and is a potentially disabling disease. Some people with severe MS may lose the ability to walk independently or to walk at all. Acupuncture may provide relief for some MS-related symptoms, including pain, spasticity, numbness and tingling, bladder problems, and depression.

Restless Leg Syndrome

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a condition that causes an uncontrollable urge to move your legs, usually because of an uncomfortable sensation. It often happens in the evening or nighttime hours when you’re lying down or sitting. An increasing number of studies that have been published in recent years support the effectiveness of acupuncture for RLS

Paralysis

Scalp acupuncture is frequently used in rehabilitation of paralysis due to stroke, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury, or traumatic brain injury.
