Patient's question:
My partner recently experienced another episode of facial paralysis, so they have been undergoing acupuncture treatment for the past few weeks. I noticed that when the doctor treats my partner with acupuncture, the needles are inserted very deeply. I would like to ask if it is better to insert the needles deeper during acupuncture treatment for facial paralysis?Doctor's answer:
The facial paralysis reappearing may be due to being exposed to wind or cold again, as the face has been affected by a viral infection. Therefore, during the detailed discussion of the onset, timely examination and treatment should be implemented. During the treatment period, it is important to choose a regular hospital for treatment. When choosing acupuncture treatment, it does not mean that the deeper the acupuncture, the better. The main treatment method is that the doctor will prescribe medication according to your condition. Wishing the patient a speedy recovery and good health!
