Case Studies: Maria Post-Stroke Paralysis

weMED treated Maria, an 86-year old woman, by lessening the degree of her post-stroke paralysis, weakness, and numbness, which substantially improved the quality of her life.

When Maria first visited weMED, she sought treatment for the lingering effects of a stroke. She suffered a combination of paralysis, weakness, and numbness over the entire left side of her body, which left her with painful tingling sensations in her arm and hand. She was unable to walk without a cane and could not cover more than few steps at a time. Additionally, Maria suffered from incontinence, loss of memory, allergies, and inflammation throughout her body.

After her initial consultation and subsequent treatment, weMED significantly reduced Maria’s symptoms of paralysis, pain, weakness, and numbness. Our doctors helped her regain her walking stamina, increase her memory retention, diminish her allergies, and nearly eliminate her incontinence.

Our measurements are on a scale of 1-10, with 1 representing virtually no pain and completely healthy, and 10 representing the worst pain you’ve ever felt or very unhealthy.
