What is neurology?

Neurology deals with disorders of the nervous system, involving the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves.

This branch of medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating various neurological conditions, ranging from common issues like headaches and neuropathies to more complex disorders such as epilepsy, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis.

What neurological conditions can Traditional East Asian Medicine address?

We can help in treating a wide array of issues related to the nervous system, including but not limited to:

Neurodegenerative diseases

These include conditions like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which involve progressive damage to nerve cells, leading to cognitive decline, movement disorders, and muscle weakness. Our goal for patient with these conditions is to help them manage their symptoms and delay the progression of the disease.

Stroke

Traditional East Asian Medicine can help in managing the aftermath of strokes, which occur when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, leading to brain damage. Our practice can minimize complications and assist with rehabilitation.

Headaches and migraines

Acupuncture and other modalities can help in managing different types of headaches, including tension headaches, cluster headaches, and migraines. We offer personalized treatments to alleviate symptoms and improve quality of life.

Neuromuscular disorders

Conditions affecting the nerves and muscles, such as peripheral neuropathy, myasthenia gravis, and muscular dystrophy, fall under neurology. We develop treatment plans to manage symptoms and delay the progression of the condition.

How does Traditional East Asian Medicine work for post-stroke recovery?

In post-stroke recovery, neurology helps patients regain function and independence. At NYC Acupuncture + Wellness, we integrate traditional medicine techniques from China, Japan, and Korea with Western medicine to provide comprehensive care for post-stroke recovery patients. 

Acupuncture, a staple of Traditional East Asian Medicine, stimulates specific points in the body, promoting circulation and aiding in rehabilitation. Japanese Kampo medicine offers herbal remedies tailored to individual symptoms, while Korean therapies like herbal medicine and physical therapy complement Western approaches.

By combining these diverse techniques, patients benefit from a holistic approach that addresses physical, emotional, and cognitive aspects of recovery, maximizing their potential for improvement and enhancing overall well-being.

With ongoing support and therapy, many individuals can achieve significant recovery and regain independence following a stroke.
