Are you suffering from Bell’s Palsy?

Bell’s Palsy is caused by inflammation of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). When acupuncture treatment begins within the first month of onset, the chances for a dramatic recovery are significantly higher. Acupuncture helps reduce inflammation and promotes nerve regeneration, allowing for faster restoration of facial muscle control.

While many patients notice relief after just one session, a series of six treatments (three times a week) is recommended initially. After that, visits are typically reduced to twice a week until most or all symptoms are resolved.

Although acupuncture can work better when treated early, below is a patient who still had an improvement even after one year of the occurrence.
