Patient's question:
Auntie Mi's facial paralysis has been present for some time. No matter how she treats it, the complete recovery is extremely slow. Someone suggested that she go for physical therapy. What are the physical therapy methods for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
Hello, based on your description, it appears that for patients with facial paralysis, physiotherapy is generally most effective during acute recurrence, such as through acupuncture, electroacupuncture stimulation, moxibustion, and other rehabilitation treatments. If the course of the disease lasts more than one month, it is likely to develop into a permanent facial paralysis, and the above treatments may not be effective. During the onset period, patients should avoid exposure to cold wind on their face and maintain a light diet.
