Nine years after stroke, rehabilitation is still effective. Chiropractor Zhuo Ran brings him hope

A young patient once said to his parents: “I won’t go anywhere. There’s no way I can be cured. Don’t waste your money.”

He was only 34 years old. He had suffered a stroke for 9 years. Although he had been working hard on rehabilitation, the results were minimal. He had given up treatment, but after seeing the huge changes in his father’s health, he decided to ask Dr. Sophia Lam of the Chiropractic Clinic to take a look. Dr. Lam really gave him and his family hope.

Nine years after the stroke, rehabilitation restored some function of the arm

Mr. W, 34 years old this year, suffered a hemorrhagic stroke 9 years ago when he was 25 years old, leaving him with serious sequelae. His right side is stiff, his right arm cannot move, and his right hand is curled up and cannot be opened. Because he has been tightly clenched for a long time, the skin on his right hand has ulcerated and smells bad. His mother has to spend a lot of effort to straighten his fingers and clean them for him every day.

Over the past 9 years, Mr. W has been to various clinics, seen many doctors, and received various rehabilitation treatments, but with little effect. Later, the doctor told him not to come again, believing that his disease was no longer worth treating. Mr. W himself was also discouraged and did not want to add to the financial burden on his parents, so he refused to try any more treatments. He told his parents, “I won’t go anywhere. I can’t be saved. Don’t waste your money.”

Later, when he found that his father, who had suffered from severe lumbar disc herniation, had shown significant improvement after being treated by Dr. Lin, he decided to try again.

After diagnosing him, Dr. Lin used a combination of extracorporeal shock wave therapy and manual therapy. After a period of treatment, Mr. W regained some of his arm functions – his arm could hang down, and his palm, which had been unable to open for nine years, was now open. This not only improved his quality of life, but also brought new hope to him and his family.
