Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Lv Zhiqin
The treatment for mild hemiplegia mainly includes the following aspects:
1. Medication: In some cases, doctors may use medications to control symptoms associated with hemiplegia, such as muscle spasms, or employ anticoagulant drugs to prevent thrombosis and reduce the risk of recurrent stroke.
2. Rehabilitation therapy: Rehabilitation includes acupuncture, which stimulates specific points to promote blood circulation and nerve regeneration; physical therapy, such as ultrasound and infrared radiation, non-invasive methods that aid soft tissue repair and improve circulation; and exercise therapy involving a planned, progressive series of exercises to enhance muscle strength, flexibility, and coordination.
3. Other therapies: These include occupational therapy and speech therapy. Occupational therapy focuses on improving the patient's ability to perform daily activities independently, while speech therapy helps patients overcome communication disorders and restore or improve verbal expression skills.
The above treatments should be conducted under a doctor's guidance and tailored into an individualized treatment plan based on the patient's specific condition.
