If I had a stroke I would find a CLRT practitioner!

Hemiparetic Stroke
Mr S, aged 67, had a hemiparetic stroke a few years before consulting Dr Wise. His right leg dragged and his right arm was drawn up tight against his body, stuck because his biceps and wrist flexors were in ‘permanent’ spasm. The angle created by his elbow was about 45 degrees all the time, and the muscle pain was quite severe at times. An adjustment of C5 caused the arm to be 20% more relaxed. Then Dr Wise tried a cranial laser release on the right side of his forehead for about one minute. After about 30 seconds Mr S’s hand began to descend, as if someone was slowly pulling it down. He opened his eyes and could not believe what he saw. The first session brought his hand down to about 120 degrees. Further sessions improved the resting state to 145 degrees, and after each CLR treatment it extended to 170 degrees. Now the pain is gone and the muscles of his arm and hand are almost completely relaxed.
