About A Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is disrupted, either by a blocked artery (ischemic stroke) or a burst blood vessel (hemorrhagic stroke). This results in brain cell damage, causing symptoms like paralysis, speech difficulties, or cognitive impairments. Prompt medical intervention is crucial for recovery.

Symptoms Of Stroke

Functional Neurology

Functional neurology supports stroke recovery by enhancing neuroplasticity through targeted therapies, such as balance training, oculomotor exercises, and sensory stimulation.

It focuses on reactivating affected brain areas, improving coordination, restoring mobility, and reducing symptoms like weakness or speech difficulties, enabling personalised, non-invasive, and effective rehabilitation for long-term recovery.

Osteopathic Medicine

Osteopathic medicine treats stroke by improving structural imbalances in the neck and enhancing the body’s natural healing processes. Techniques like cranial osteopathy and gentle manipulations improve blood flow, reduce tension, and support brain recovery.

This holistic approach alleviates symptoms associated with a stroke such as headaches, dizziness, and fatigue while promoting long-term neurological health and overall well-being.

Blood Chemistry Analysis

Blood chemistry analysis aids stroke recovery by identifying imbalances in key markers like homocysteine, apolipoproteins, HbA1C, and inflammatory cytokines. This insight helps tailor interventions to manage risk factors, optimise vascular health, and support healing.

Regular monitoring ensures personalised care, improves outcomes, and reduces the likelihood of recurrent strokes or related complications.

Nutritional Medicine

Nutritional medicine supports stroke recovery by promoting brain repair and reducing inflammation. Key nutrients include omega-3 fatty acids for neuroprotection, antioxidants like vitamins C and E, and magnesium for improved circulation.

A tailored diet, emphasising whole foods, healthy fats, and reduced sodium, optimises recovery, prevents complications, and enhances overall well-being.
