Neuro Cases

As I mentioned, there are a lot of neurology cases. Two of them are young children, very similar. One girl, 2 years old, suffering from post-encephalitis syndrome, which she suffered when she was 8 years old with a 39 celcuis fever. She does not have balance and only says mama and baba (daddy). Her mother and grandmother bring her in every day for tui na and acupuncture.

TX- quick needle on body points such as ge shu, gan shu, shen shu, pi she, Ki 3, St 36, Li 4 and 11. Also, she does head needling, the 3 needle technique, laos san zhen, 3 needles for intelligence and si shen cong. The Lao shen cong are in the back of the head, above du 16, anin center, and 2.25 away from the center line. The intelligence needles are 2 cun about the top of the ear, above the center, and in the back.

Another boy who is 8 has been coming everyday for years. He was bron prematurely with a hypoxic brain injury as well. He cannot walk, but he can speak and interact. his grandfather brings him in everyday. Same treatment.
