Two main causes of stroke: Ischemic stroke and Haemorrhagic stroke.
Ischemic stroke 缺血性中风 is the most common
type of stroke. This happens when the brain’s blood vessels are narrowed or
blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow and oxygen. The vessels may have
accumulated a lot of fatty deposits (粥样病变) that caused blood clots (called the infarcts 血栓) and
lodged in the blood vessels in your brain.
Haemorrhagic stroke 出血性中风occurs when a blood vessel in your brain
ruptures and the blood leaks into the surrounding cells, causing damage of the surrounding
cells in the brain. It can also be the rupture of an abnormal tangle of
thin-walled blood vessels. When the
stroke occur, the patients usually have high blood pressure but may not have a history of high blood pressure. But very likely they have weak spots in the
blood vessels in the brain.
The above two types of stroke damages the "Yun Don Qu" （运动区）in the brain and affect the opposite side of the limbs to be paralyzed (瘫痪）meanging that if the right side of the brain is damaged, the left side of the limbs (arm and leg) become paralyzed 瘫痪. These stroke patients will not be able to lift up one side of the arm and leg. For serious cases, they will not be able to walk on their own. They needs to be assisted to walk and to bathe. Some will not be able to eat on their own. They may have slurred speech (言语不清， 说话含糊). Some of the patients may lose some of their memory while some may slowly regain their memory over time. Some patients cannot even urine on their own and need to be inserted with catheter 导尿管. All these bring a lot of inconveniences to the stroke patients.
In about 13 years ago, there was one famous American athlete called Devin, had very serious haemorrhagic stroke. He was paralyzed for 10 year and could not walk and was bedridden. His wife heard about the power of acupuncture and decided to bring him to China， Tian Jin (天津）to see a professor 石学敏院士. He, 中国现代针灸奠基人石学敏院士, treated Devin with acupuncture, using the special method that he invented called "醒脑开窍法” to treat him. Slowly he could talk a bit, stand and walk . Recently, his recovery journey was uploaded to the website (not sure of the actual date).
Dr. Ong had worked in Tan Tock Seng Hospital (the stroke department) from Aug 2002 to Feb 2004. She has treated many patients who were transferred to Ang Mo Kio Community Hospital for rehabilitation. During those years, almost every day there was one new case of stroke patient admitted to the hospital. She saw many serious cases of stroke during her stint in the hospital and have gain many years of clinical experience in the treatment of stroke. During that time most of the stroke patients would request to have acupuncture sessions. They would be allowed for acupuncture treatments only after their conditions are stabilized. All the patients must have referral letters from in-house western doctors before they are allowed to be treated. Most of the patients, especially those with serious condition, could not accept the facts that they are incapacitated. Some even cried and feel depressed. There are cases where patients suffered the stroke third time round and their cases are mostly serious. They lost their memory and not able to speak well and very often could not urinate on their own. They need to use catheter to help to urinate. The youngest stroke patient she had treated was 31 years old. She remembered when he was hospitalized, his wife was in confinement and could not come to see him. It was only two weeks later, his wife came to visit him. There was also an Taxi driver who cried and said that he was the only bread-winner in the house and his children were still young. There was a woman who had a stroke while she was inside a swimming pool. She was having fun with her nieces in the pool, suddenly, one side of her body became weak. When she was rushed to the hospital, she was diagnosed to have haemorrhagic stroke. Her case was so bad that her left arm was so heavy and could not lift up, she was bedridden and took three to four months to see improvements. There was also a case where a woman had a stroke. She went for an operation, one side of scalp was removed. Subsequently the scalp was replaced with an artificial scalp.
Based on statistics, almost every day there is one new case of stroke occurrence. Besides stroke patients in the hospital, there were other paraplegic patients. These are patients who met with car or motorcycle accidents and were incapacitated. They became paraplegic or quadriplegic.
Therefore, it is important to be very careful when you drive or ride a motorcycle!
Symptoms of Stroke
Usually if the right side of their brain has stroke, the left side of the limbs become paralyzed 瘫痪. These stroke patients will not be able to lift up one side of the arm and leg. For serious cases, they will not be able to walk on their own. They needs to be assisted to walk and to bathe. Some will not be able to eat on their own. They may have slurred speech (言语不清, 说话含糊). Some of the patients may lose some of their memory while some may slowly regain their memory over time. Some patients cannot even urine on their own and need to be inserted with catheter 导尿管. All these bring a lot of inconveniences to the stroke patients.
Acupuncture is very effective in the treatment of STROKE
From our clinical experience, acupuncture is very effective especially within one year after the stroke. Many stroke patients find that one side of the body is stiff and one side of their palm and feet slowly curl up and not able to open fully. Moreover, most of them were not be able to lift up one side of their arm and leg fully. In early stages after the stroke, in some cases, this condition can be improved. Those with mild stroke were able to lift up one side of their arm and leg fully after the treatments. Besides acupuncture, we also do TCM meridian massage and we also prescribe herbal medicine for Stroke patients to enhance circulation and to nourish and strengthen their muscles. Some of them have recovered very well and able to do their daily chores and many of them can go back to work.
Our physicians are specialized in Stroke patients
We have many patients who came to our clinic for acupuncture. Our team of physicians Dr. Wong Wai Fong, Yeo Lily, Wu MuZhen, Chang Lee Sien, Hu XiaoNan, Casandra Tan and Teo Seow Huang have many years of clinical experience in the treatment of stroke.
Most of them need to use walking Stick after the stroke
Picture of stroke patient doing acupuncture and cupping
One consolation is that, having stroke is better than having cancer. Most of the patients can live for many years after the stroke. Some with mild stroke can even recover fully. It is advisable that they watch their blood pressure closely and refrain from eating too much of oily and salty food. It is important to come for early treatment especially on the first 6 months after the stroke before the muscles, tendons, ligaments and nerves become harden. Generally, a combination of acupuncture treatment, massage, exercise are good.

My brother suffered a stroke and had no sensation on the right side of his body, even after nine months. After undergoing various treatments—including cupping, acupuncture, and tuina—under the care of Dr. Ong Ah Tian, he gradually began to regain some sensation. His limbs, particularly his fingers, have also become noticeably less stiff. His mobility has also improved over time; for instance, he is now able to stretch further than when he first began treatment with Dr. Ong.
ReplyDeleteDr. Ong is exceptionally patient, kind, and compassionate. She goes above and beyond to support her patients and genuinely cares about their recovery. She thoughtfully customizes each treatment plan and continually adjusts her methods to best suit each patient’s needs, ensuring the most effective path to healing.
