Acupuncture and Neurological Disorders
Acupuncture works directly with the nervous system to promote healing and the generation of adult stems cells. Carefully placed acupuncture needles can address the symptoms in the body and the nerve degeneration in the brain thus creating a circuit of healing in the nervous system. The profound ability of acupuncture to restore neurological function in extreme cases such as brain trauma, spinal cord injury, and stroke is gaining attention in the West.
