The cerebral infarction had progressed. Mr. Wang returned to the hospital and this time stayed for 20 days. During his treatment the strength in the right limbs gradually started to come back. At this time he was able to walk, but his overall strength was still weak and his posture was not good. He then underwent traditional Chinese medicine treatment and received acupuncture and physical rehabilitation.

Before Mr. Wang made the decision to come to our medical center for treatment, his symptoms included weakness of the limbs and paralysis of the right side of the body and face.
