認知症
masuiCerebrovascular dementia
脳血管性認知症とは、脳梗塞（脳の血管が詰まり脳の一部に血が流れず、その部分の脳の働きが消失）や脳出血（脳の血管が破れて出血し、脳組織を壊したり圧迫する）。いわゆる脳卒中(脳の血管障害)にともなって起こる認知症です。記憶障害だけでなく、早い段階から歩行障害など身体機能の低下がみられます。原因はさまざまで、加齢、動脈硬化、高血圧、糖尿病、高脂血症、喫煙習慣、肥満、飲酒なども発症のリスクを高めます。認知症の症状である記憶障害(したこを忘れる)、見当識障害(日時や曜日、場所がわからない)などが生じます。首回りに鍼をして、脳血管の血流を改善、脳細胞を活性化させていきます
Cerebrovascular dementia is a type of dementia caused by cerebral infarction (a clogged blood vessel in the brain that prevents blood from flowing to a part of the brain, resulting in loss of brain function in that area) or cerebral hemorrhage (a blood vessel in the brain breaks, resulting in bleeding that breaks or compresses brain tissue). Dementia occurs as a result of so-called stroke (damage to blood vessels in the brain). In addition to memory impairment, physical functions such as gait disturbance are deteriorated from the early stages of the disease. There are various causes of dementia, including aging, arteriosclerosis, hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, smoking habits, obesity, and alcohol consumption, all of which increase the risk of developing the disease. Symptoms of dementia, such as memory impairment (forgetting what one has done) and disorientation (not knowing the date, time, day, or place), may occur. Acupuncture around the neck improves blood flow to the cerebral blood vessels and activates brain cells.
