Patient's question:
Recently, I don't know why I can't sleep, which greatly affects my work efficiency. My friend recommended checking with the neurology department. Could you please tell me what the massage techniques for tics are?Doctor's answer:
If an elderly person suffers from tics, in this case, it is first necessary to rule out cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, as this condition may lead to the recurrence of hemiplegia. It is recommended to undergo a relevant brain CT examination at the hospital. If cerebrovascular diseases are ruled out, simple tics can be treated with appropriate massage therapy. The massage can target points such as Fengchi (GB20), Shenmen (HT7), and Taiyang (GV20). Generally, the thumbs are used to press and rub these acupoints.
