After being discharged from the hospital,
many stroke patients face an important question:
👉 “Do I still need ongoing care?”
Some may feel:
“I’ve already spent a lot on treatment… maybe I should pause for now.”
But in reality,
this stage is often the turning point of recovery.
⸻
🌱 The Cost of a Stroke Goes Beyond Hospital Bills
A stroke does not only involve short-term medical expenses.
It can also lead to:
👉 Reduced mobility
👉 Lower quality of life
👉 Dependence on family members
👉 Increased risk of a second stroke
And in many cases,
👉 a second stroke can be more serious than the first.
⸻
🌿 Ongoing Care Is Not Just Treatment — It’s Prevention
At Jiu Gu Tang, we emphasize an important concept:
👉 Acupuncture is not only for recovery, but also for prevention.
With consistent care (1–2 sessions per week),
acupuncture can help:
✔ Improve circulation of Qi and Blood
✔ Unblock the meridians
✔ Stabilize the body’s condition
✔ Reduce the risk of recurrence
⸻
🌱 Looking at Cost from a Different Perspective
When health is viewed as long-term management,
a different picture becomes clear:
👉 The cost of consistent care
is often much lower than the overall burden of another stroke.
And this “cost” is not just financial — it also includes:
👉 Loss of physical function
👉 Time and energy
👉 Emotional stress
👉 Impact on family life
⸻
🌿 Not Waiting for Problems — But Preventing Them
Many people take action only when problems become serious.
But for stroke recovery:
👉 Early and consistent care makes a real difference.
Regular acupuncture works as a continuous adjustment,
helping the body stay balanced instead of reacting after imbalance occurs.
⸻
🌱 A More Stable Approach to Recovery
Instead of facing greater consequences later,
it is often wiser to stabilize the body during recovery.
👉 1–2 sessions per week
👉 is not just treatment — it is building a stronger foundation for the future
⸻
🌿 The Jiu Gu Tang Approach
At Jiu Gu Tang, our goal goes beyond short-term improvement:
👉 Not just helping you recover

⸻
