Why Stroke Cause Hemiplegia and What Acupuncture Can treat Hemiplegia?

Firstly, I would like to describe why does Stroke cause Hemiplegia. We can imagine brain is a bus loop and our nerve fibers are bus routes and nerve signals are buses. Unfortunately, one day some bad guys use huge rocks to block the driveway. If the rocks on the driveway where the signal (bus) to the right hand normally starts its trip, then the signal will never be able to leave the driveway and the right hand will become paralyzed. However, signals to other places such as the face and the leg won’t become affected by this relatively small catastrophe and change sides versa. The longer no nerve signals go throw the nerve fibers will be suffered more damage. That is why patients do not easy recover if they do not do anything to help it.

Secondly, I would like to explain why acupuncture can help patients who stroke and hemiplegia. As I said there are rocks block the way and how can we help buses to pass that barriers. Acupuncture gives buses extra power to make them become off-road vehicles to help them easier to go throw, and usually it gives huge benefit. Most patients can feel much improve in spoken fluency in their first time acupuncture. After 2 or 3 times they can feel really good progress in their body condition, if they well cooperate with me. The most important is the earlier treatment the better response. The best treatment time is one month after stroke.  That is why acupuncture can treat Hemiplegia and help stroke recovery.
