Hello doctor, I had a craniotomy due to a car accident and suffered from facial paralysis, on the right side of my face.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

It is recommended that you use some newly invented methods recently, such as acupuncture inside the oral cavity, stimulating the masseter muscle is more effective than surface acupuncture. Also, you need to find the reaction points on the first cervical vertebra for acupuncture, this point is very crucial, because facial nerves originate from the neck, and compressed nerves by cervical muscles are also a cause of facial paralysis. These are suggestions put forward by some experts in the industry in recent years. It is recommended that you find a higher-level acupuncturist to try these methods, you will get satisfactory results. You can try the methods I mentioned, the effect is very good.
