The treatment is called scalp acupuncture. Needles are inserted into the scalp and with it there may be a sensation of pulling, tightness and even slight pain. After the insertion of the needles there may a heat-type sensation, tingling, and even a spasm in the impaired area of the body. The treatments can still be effective without these sensations. Neurologically speaking we are stimulating the blood flow to the motor cortex region of the brain. The Chinese experience over the last thirty years demonstrates that these acupuncture treatments re-establish the sensory and motor abilities significantly sooner than conventional physical therapy modalities. The Chinese hospital records show measurable benefit in over 90 percent of the reviewed cases.
There is no uniform recovery pattern as each patient is different in their response to acupuncture. For best results the acupuncture should be started as soon as the patient is stabilized. Research has shown that substantial gains can be made at any stage of recovery. The recovery is a growth process that is all natural: no drugs, no surgery and best of all no side effects. Post stroke acupuncture treatments help thousands of people everyday in China. Here in North America, the National Institute of Health concluded that acupuncture benefits stroke recovery. Many health care providers recognize the value of adding acupuncture along with conventional therapy.
