At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we provide a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to support individuals experiencing apoplexy sequelae—the long-term effects following a stroke. These may include limb weakness, paralysis, numbness, muscle stiffness or spasticity, facial asymmetry, speech difficulty, poor coordination, and reduced daily function.
From a TCM perspective, apoplexy sequelae are commonly related to Qi and blood deficiency, blood stasis, phlegm obstruction, and meridian blockage affecting the brain, limbs, and facial muscles. By improving circulation, restoring energy flow, and supporting nerve and muscle function, TCM helps enhance recovery and quality of life.
