Neuro-Acupuncture can help with the following symptoms associated with stroke
Why should stroke survivors attend this event?
• To breakthrough conventional rehabilitation plateaus
• To experience Neuro-Acupuncture’s neuro-plastic effect
• For a more holistic approach towards your stroke rehabilitation
Stroke recovery is not linear
Treatments have an accumulative effect on the brain’s neuro-plasticity over time.
