Question
My mother recently started experiencing symptoms such as being unable to cook, dizziness, headaches, and a lack of energy. I’m worried she might have optic nerve atrophy. What are the treatment methods for optic nerve atrophy?
Answer
The treatment for optic nerve atrophy mainly targets its pathological process, including microcirculatory obstruction, axonal flow blockage, tissue brain edema, and inflammatory exudation. Acupuncture is believed to help improve these issues by promoting blood circulation, reducing exudation, accelerating tissue repair, and removing necrotic tissue. In daily life, patients should adjust their diet, increase the intake of vitamins and high-protein foods, and avoid drinking alcohol.
