Patient's question:
My uncle was hospitalized this year due to facial paralysis and spent a lot of money, but the treatment was ineffective. There's no other way; the whole family relies on my uncle. I also want to help. Can facial paralysis be treated with facial fascia manipulation?Doctor's answer:
For facial paralysis patients, appropriate massage can effectively alleviate symptoms and aid in recovery. It can produce certain effects and can be used for oral massage: Facial paralysis can lead to symptoms such as slurred speech and crooked mouth, so oral massage can help relieve the symptoms of facial paralysis. Use the pads of the index finger and thumb to push along the affected side of the mouth corner toward the central groove, then along the central groove toward the mouth corner.Lower oral orbicular muscle: Use the index finger and thumb to push along the affected side of the mouth corner toward the center, then back toward the affected side of the mouth corner.
