Using Acupuncture to Help Stroke & Bells Palsy Recovery

Acupuncture therapy for stroke-caused conditions such as paralysis, speech and swallowing problems in commonly used in China and the Orient. Numerous studies involving thousands of patients have been published in China and Japan and 2 studies in Scandinavia. These studies indicate significant help in patients getting better quicker, performing better in self-care, and requiring less nursing and rehabilitation therapy.

Please see our Dun Laoghaire Doctor Chen Pictures below. Dr Chen developed Bells Palsy and had facial acupuncture done every day by Dr Zhou, a practitioner working for Care Cure Acupuncture. After 10 days Dr Chen was fully recovered and back to work as the third picture below demonstrates.






When a person has a stroke, the brain stops communicating with the body part that is affected. For example if you have had a stroke that affects the left side of your body, you might try to move your left hand but find that you can’t. This is because your brain is no longer sending messages to your hand.

Chinese Medicine treats this condition with a combination of acupuncture and herbs. Acupuncture works by stimulating nerves and opening up the body’s circulation. For stroke victims we use acupuncture to stimulate the left hand, which in turn encourages the brain to start to recognize the arm again.

The sooner you get acupuncture after a stroke the faster your recovery will be. The longer you wait after a stroke, the more likely your muscles will get weak and you will have to build them up again so you have the muscle strength to function with the restored nerve flow.

Acupuncture is a safe procedure, which uses small painless disposable needles that are inserted into points on the body most beneficial for your individual health. Further information will be given to you at your Free No Obligation Consultation. Check out our contact us page to make an appointment.

If blood stored in your liver failed to nourish the meridians, it would result in symptoms including numbness, pins and needles, tendon twitch, muscle spasms, and convulse of limbs. Similarly if the eyes do not receive proper nourishment from the liver blood, patients will experience dry, sore eyes or even blurred vision.

Acupuncture and Herbs to treat Sinus Infections Sinusitis  or  sinus infection  is inflammation of the air cavities within the passages of the nose. Tiny holes that connect your nasal passages to your sinuses get blocked. It can be caused by a number of factors including colds and flu viruses, infection, polyps, allergies and irritants. If your sinuses can’t drain properly it causes inflammation and swelling around the nasal area. This can directly affect your breathing, cause pain, irritation, headaches and affect your day to day living. The combination of acupuncture and Chinese herbs is a highly effective way to treat both the symptoms and the root cause of your sinusitis. Our practitioners stimulate the small channels that connect the sinuses to the nasal passages. Stimulating these congestion points increases blood flow to your sinuses and loosens mucus . This allows the mucus to drain into the nose from the sinuses and allows air to flow into the...
