This two-day intensive workshop provides a practical, clinically-focused framework for understanding stroke from both biomedical and Chinese medicine perspectives, then translating that knowledge into effective acupuncture treatments and home care guidance for patients and their families. Attendees will gain practical skills for setting and prioritizing treatment goals, including common post-stroke complications like aphasia, dysphagia, hemiparesis, mood disorders, and bowel or urinary dysfunction. Stroke is a leading cause of long-term disability worldwide. Along with diabetes, long COVID, and environmental toxins, prevalence is rising fast. Acupuncturists can be of tremendous help to patients at all levels of recovery, but it’s not as easy as just knowing the special points. In order to meet stroke patients where they are, we need a clear integrative framework for assessing the size and scope of their challenges and understanding their life priorities. Afterwards, to help them move forward, we need a flexible Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment planning toolkit for home self/family care that incorporates acupuncture, bodywork, and lifestyle medicine with rehabilitation-specific techniques and insights. The course bridges modern neurological knowledge with classical Chinese medical theory, offering a “Rosetta Stone” that connects post-stroke clinical presentations to familiar diagnostic and treatment planning strategies in acupuncture practice. The workshop lays out a comprehensive acupuncture therapy toolbox for stroke rehabilitation, including techniques and protocols for body acupuncture, scalp acupuncture, auricular therapy, and bodywork, as well as key elements of home care including self-acupressure and lifestyle medicine. Through diagnostic frameworks and step-by-step treatment strategies, this course equips practitioners with the knowledge and confidence to safely and effectively improve stroke patients’ quality of life.
