What is the treatment for hemiplegia recovery?
Disease description:
I have always been in good health, so I often take cold showers. However, I have now suffered an unexpected incident leading to hemiplegia (paralysis on one side of the body), with half of my body immobilized and experiencing discomfort. I would like to ask about the treatment options available for recovery from hemiplegia.

Here are some common treatment methods for hemiplegia recovery:
1. Medication: During the rehabilitation process, antispasticity drugs, antidepressants, and other medications may be used to control symptoms and enhance treatment effectiveness.
2. Physical therapy: Includes active and passive exercises, such as joint mobilization techniques, muscle strength training, and gait training, to improve the patient's muscle strength and flexibility.
3. Occupational therapy: Enhances upper limb function and improves the patient's ability to perform daily activities such as washing, dressing, and eating.
4. Traditional medicine: Traditional Chinese medicine treatments such as acupuncture and massage have shown significant effectiveness in hemiplegia recovery. These methods stimulate acupoints, promote meridian circulation, and accelerate the recovery process by enhancing blood and energy flow.
5. Speech therapy: For patients with speech disorders, auditory and visual stimulation are used to strengthen speech responses and improve communication abilities.
6. Rehabilitation training: Includes balance training, gait training, and coordination training, aimed at restoring or improving the patient's walking and overall motor abilities.
At the same time, the patient and their family members should also actively cooperate and maintain a positive mindset.
