NATURAL TREATMENTS FOR NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS USING CHINESE MEDICINE

At Asheville Holistic Acupuncture, we specialize in using traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat a wide range of neurological disorders. Our holistic approach combines ancient wisdom with modern techniques to provide effective, natural solutions for conditions affecting the nervous system. If you're searching for acupuncture in Asheville or seeking a holistic approach to neurological health, you've come to the right place.

HOW CHINESE MEDICINE HELPS NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS

Chinese medicine, particularly acupuncture, has been used for centuries to treat various neurological conditions. By targeting specific points on the body, acupuncture helps to restore balance, improve blood flow, and stimulate the nervous system. This can lead to significant improvements in symptoms and overall well-being.

In Chinese medicine the function of the nervous system, including the brain and spine, is most closely related to the Liver and Gallbladder organ systems. Disorders affecting the nervous system manifest in many forms but most have a single unifying quality - abnormalities in voluntary movement; this may present in the form of tremors, spasms, weakness, rigidity, seizure, or paralysis. Of course, pain and numbness are also key features of neural disorders. All of these symptoms are categorized as wind-type disease progressions.

Chronic degenerative neural disorders such as ALS, MS, Parkinson’s Disease, and others primarily feature progressive weakness and loss of motor function over time. These disorders, though they have various pathomechanisms from a physical perspective, are often treated as deficiency patterns and require rigorous tonification methods over time to slow or stop the disease progression. Chinese medicine is best used in conjunction with pharmaceuticals in most cases to get optimal results.

Scalp acupuncture is often a key feature of treatment for neural disorders stemming from improper brain function including neuroreceptor / neurotransmitter imbalances or disorders stemming from traumatic brain injury. Stimulating the scalp has been clinically proven to stimulate the corresponding regions of the brain and may alter electrical activity.

Epilepsy and other seizure disorders generally involve stagnation and heat build up in the liver which periodically releases, causing a surge of electrical activity in the spine and brain; this is called acute liver yang rising and it is most often treated by strongly regulating the liver.
