About Stroke Rehabilitation Services
Stroke rehabilitation is essential for restoring function and improving quality of life after a stroke. Acupuncture is used to support stroke recovery by improving blood flow to the brain, reducing muscle stiffness, and promoting neuroplasticity (the brain’s ability to adapt). Our treatments focus on enhancing mobility, improving motor function, and reducing pain and spasticity in stroke-affected limbs. Acupuncture complements traditional rehabilitation therapies, helping patients regain independence and improve their daily functioning.
