TCM Rehabilitation Methods

Traditional Chinese Medicine rehabilitation at Eber is delivered by senior-level TCM physicians. The program combines millennia of TCM knowledge with modern rehabilitation science, focusing on both whole-body regulation and targeted functional restoration.

🧠
Scalp Acupuncture

Increases cerebral blood flow, activates cortical neurons, improves motor control — a key TCM neurorehabilitation technique.

Body Acupuncture (Motor Points)

Targets limb motor points to restore muscle and nerve function, reduce spasticity, and stimulate peripheral nerve regeneration.

🔗
Back Meridian Acupuncture

Unblocks Du meridian (governing vessel), regulates general Yang energy, positively influences spinal cord and nervous system.

🤲
Tuina (Therapeutic Massage)

Reduces muscle rigidity, improves lymphatic and blood circulation, relieves contractures, improves quality of life.

🌿
Moxa Therapy

Warming and penetrating action; regulates immune function, improves nerve function, tonifies kidney Yang — essential in TCM for neurological recovery.

👂
Auricular Therapy

Stimulates auricular reflex points corresponding to CNS, limbs, and viscera. Regulates corresponding organ functions.
