conditions - Stroke Prevention & Recovery


Stroke remains a leading cause of death and is one of the top contributors of adult disability in the world, many stroke patients have some disability within three months.

Stroke occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted. This causes brain cells to lose their function, thus leading to the signs and symptoms commonly observed. There are two main types of stroke:

  • Ischaemic stroke occurs due to blockage of the blood vessel, limiting blood flow to the brain and is the most common type.
  • Hemorrhagic stroke occurs due to rupture of a blood vessel, causing bleeding into the brain.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) treatments, such as Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine, has been used for many centuries and is still widely used today in many countries for treatment during the arduous process of stroke rehabilitation and also in helping in the prevention of stroke, complementing conventional western medical care.
