Patient's question:
Is facial paralysis acupuncture effective?Doctor's answer:
Most Bell's palsy is caused by inflammation or other damage to the facial nerve, leading to the loss of function in facial muscles. Acupuncture is a completely feasible treatment method for Bell's palsy. Western medicine typically recommends that patients seek acupuncture treatment from a skilled Chinese medicine practitioner within the first week or after one week to promote the recovery of the facial nerve. As long as the acupuncture is performed appropriately, the results are usually quite effective.
