Acupuncture for Stroke Recovery: Rebuilding the Brain
When a stroke hits, life can change in an instant. One moment you’re preparing breakfast before work, and the next you’re on the kitchen floor unable to move one side of your body.

Months of physical therapy can then follow, but progress is often slow. Speech can remain slurred and fatigue can be relentless. Many are desperate for additional help and can look to acupuncture to help with recovery. While acupuncture is not a replacement for emergency medicine or rehabilitation therapy, growing clinical research suggests it may offer meaningful benefits for some patients recovering from stroke. continue reading

Even if you follow your rheumatologist’s treatment plan, take your medications, adjust your diet and pace your lifestyle, there are days when your body feels like it’s fighting a war you don’t fully understand. continue reading
Finding Relief in the Middle of Change: Acupuncture Supporting Women Through Menopause
Many women recognize the symptoms: your body feels like it’s on fire, hot flashes inconveniently interrupting important meetings, night sweats soaking the sheets, mood swings, and fatigue that no amount of coffee could fix. These are the symptoms that usher in the menopause era.
Doctors might suggest hormone replacement therapy (HRT), but for those looking for solutions addressing the body as whole and not just isolated symptoms, acupuncture could be the more natural option. continue reading
