Stroke
What is
Stroke ?
A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain cells of oxygen and nutrients. This can result in brain damage and loss of functions such as speech, movement, and memory. A stroke is a medical emergency requiring immediate attention, as the faster treatment begins, the better the chances of recovery.
Symptoms of
Stroke
Recognizing the signs of stroke early is critical for effective stroke treatment. If you or someone you know exhibits these stroke signs, seek medical help immediately. Common stroke symptoms include:
- Sudden numbness or weakness in the face, arm, or leg, particularly on one side of the body.
- Blurred or blackened vision in one or both eyes.
- Difficulty speaking or understanding speech.
- Sudden confusion or trouble concentrating.
- Loss of balance, coordination, or dizziness.
- Severe headache with no known cause.
Types of
Stroke
Understanding these stroke types helps tailor appropriate stroke treatments for individual cases. There are several types of stroke, each with distinct causes:
- Ischemic Stroke
Caused by a blocked artery, this is the most common stroke type.
- Hemorrhagic Stroke
Occurs when a blood vessel in the brain bursts, leading to bleeding in the brain.
- Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA)
Often called a “mini-stroke,” it results from a temporary blockage of blood flow to the brain.
What Causes
Stroke ?
Identifying and managing stroke causes is essential in preventing future strokes. Stroke causes vary depending on the type of stroke, but common causes of stroke include:
- Uncontrolled diabetes or high cholesterol levels.
- Narrowed arteries or underlying cardiovascular conditions.
- Blood clots or plaque buildup blocking blood vessels (Ischemic Stroke).
- High blood pressure leading to ruptured blood vessels (Hemorrhagic Stroke).
- Lifestyle factors such as smoking, obesity, and excessive alcohol consumption.
Our Approach
At Sunrise Neuro Acupuncture Integrative Clinic, we combine traditional and modern approaches for a comprehensive stroke treatment plan. Our methods include:
Neuro acupuncture stimulates the central nervous system, enhancing neuroplasticity and promoting nerve regeneration. It improves cerebral blood flow, reduces inflammation, and supports motor and cognitive recovery after a stroke.
Scalp acupuncture directly targets the brain’s motor and sensory areas by stimulating specific regions of the cerebral cortex. This technique enhances neuroplasticity, restoring movement, speech, and sensory functions for improved stroke recovery.
