How to recover from hemiplegia

Hemiplegia, also known as hemiplegia, is a relatively common disease. There are many causes, the most common of which is cerebral infarction. The elderly are the main group suffering from the disease. Because the elderly have relatively poor physical constitution, once hemiplegia occurs, it takes a relatively long time for the body to recover. At this time, certain traditional Chinese medicine can be used for treatment, which can achieve very good results. In addition, functional rehabilitation training is also relatively important.

How to recover from hemiplegia

Recovery from hemiplegia starts from the 1st to 7th week after onset and lasts for about 6 months. The subsequent improvement of neurological function is negligible, but with the advancement of medicine, a large number of clinical cases have proved that even if patients with hemiplegia due to stroke enter the chronic stage or have been ill for more than one year, they can still recover significantly after effective symptomatic treatment.

1. Chinese medicine fumigation

What should you do if an elderly person suddenly becomes hemiplegic? There are two ways to treat hemiplegia: Chinese medicine fumigation and washing. Treatment of hemiplegia is an external treatment method of Western medicine. It dredges the meridians, activates blood circulation and disperses blood stasis to relieve spasms and promote recovery. Our department has used Chinese medicine for external washing to eliminate edema symptoms after stroke, which has achieved very good results.

2. Acupuncture treatment

There are many clinical methods for treating hemiplegia, including dozens of acupuncture methods, among which head acupuncture and body acupuncture are the most commonly used. Experts said that most of them use body acupuncture, and select both yin and yang meridian acupoints to achieve the balance of yin and yang. Psychological recovery studies the patient's physical and mental state, and uses psychological therapy to promote the psychological recovery of hemiplegic patients.

3. Various physical therapy treatments

Hemiplegia includes electrotherapy, light therapy, hydrotherapy, wax therapy, and electroacupuncture therapy combining traditional Chinese and Western medicine, ultrasound therapy, acupoint magnetic therapy, and direct current induction therapy of traditional Chinese and Western medicine.

4. Functional exercises

The best time to treat hemiplegia is within six months after onset. Generally, the recovery rate of lower limbs is higher, accounting for 90%, followed by upper limbs and speech function, and the most difficult is the hands. For the treatment of hemiplegia, effective drug treatment can be carried out, supplemented by functional training, and combined with the treatment of nano-life light energy waves, it can improve the degeneration, softening and inflammatory response of blood vessel walls, increase blood vessel elasticity, dilate cerebral blood vessels, improve blood circulation; improve the metabolic state of brain cells, promote the recovery of brain function, regulate the function of the nervous system, and eliminate the related symptoms of neurasthenia and brain fatigue.

To sum up, I believe everyone should have a deeper understanding of the problem "What to do if an elderly person suddenly becomes paralyzed on one side of his body?" I hope that some of the treatment methods introduced in the article can help patients and friends well. Finally, experts advise all patients and friends that no matter what method you choose to treat the disease, you must go to a regular hospital so that it can be safe and effective. Do not take medicine blindly so as not to affect the treatment effect.
