A typical post-stroke patient that comes to our office has aphasic speech and partial loss of hearing and vision on one side as well as ambulatory problems. Those same patients can dance the jig after six patients. This is the norm though some strokes may be more severe. Patients walking in to the clinic as in this video are very likely to receive this result. The treatment? Master Level Acupuncture.

It's tremendous and precludes endless therapy.

Really powerful insight into the impact a stroke can have on speech - and how research is helping understand recovery. Amazing real life stories too.
