Stroke recovery is really a long and difficult process, the ultimate goal of the process is to help the brain rearrange its lost connections to restore damaged bodily functions again. It is often accomplished by group support provided by psychologists, dietitians, physical therapists, neurologists, and when necessary other medical specialists based on the problems.

Chinese medicine can play a role, methods like acupuncture and acupressure are often used. Sometime when there are general weakness, fatigue, low appetite, and muscle wasting, physician may diagnose as spleen or qi deficiency, and tonic herbs are prescribed.
