How to Treat Stroke
The treatment and management of Stroke involves enormous commitments of time and personnel. After surgical treatment and/or medication, the focus of treatment shifts to rehabilitation.

You may recover completely from a stroke days, weeks, or months later. A stroke can leave you permanently impaired or the effects may be minimal.
