Treating Stroke, Brain, and Nerve Damage with Traditional Chinese Medicine

In China, Traditional Chinese Medicine has long been recognized as a leading treatment for stroke and neurological disorders. In fact, it is a clinical care standard for Chinese patients to receive acupuncture immediately after a stroke, and hospitals are usually equipped with acupuncturists to facilitate that.

Dr. Xiaorong Ding has a Ph.D. in acupuncture, and has spent decades researching Traditional Chinese Medicine's effects on stroke and neurological conditions. She specializes in scalp acupuncture, a special style of acupuncture that brings function back to nerve cells that have died or become inactive after stroke or other brain damage. Dr. Ding's treatments focus on:

  • Stopping further damage to brain tissues by preventing or reducing edema and swelling in the brain
  • Promoting blood and oxygen circulation in the brain
  • Breaking down blood clots
  • Accelerating functional recovery
  • Reducing anxiety and balancing the overall body, mitigating the chance for future strokes

Unlike other treatments for stroke, nerve damage, and brain conditions, Traditional Chinese Medicine has no side effects.
