Non-pharmacological Relief for Bell’s Palsy

Bell’s Palsy is a rare condition which affects about 200,000 Americans each year. Irritation to the facial nerve causes the muscles of half the face stop working correctly, making the mouth and eyes droop. The eyelid doesn’t close completely, leading to dryness irritation. The eyebrow doesn’t wriggle. Chewing is difficult. Keeping food in the mouth is like trying to eat after going to the dentist. It’s scary and leads people to the emergency department thinking they’re having a stroke. Conventional medicine offers steroids and sometimes antibiotics or antiviral medicine, and says it can last for months. Some people never completely recover.

Here’s How We Help Restore Facial Function and Muscle Tone

ROOT CAUSE ASSESSMENT

Every person is different, and Bell’s Palsy can have several root causes. We obtain a detailed history of your specific situation, and we use a series of simple tests to figure out the root cause of your particular palsy.

PRECISE PLAN OF ATTACK

Next, we come up with a clear, concise, and focused treatment plan to attack the root causes along with any other symptoms you might be experiencing (such as pain in your jaw or ear, numbness or tingling in the face, ear ringing, difficulty chewing, dry eyes, difficulty sleeping, etc.). Your treatment plan will include one or more of the following therapies: acupuncture, craniosacral therapy, and nutrition supplements or Chinese herbs.

 

HIGHLY TARGETED ACUPUNCTURE

We’ll do sessions 1-2 times per week to address the root causes as well as induce deep states of relaxation and positive mood. Deep relaxation = better sleep, and better sleep = faster healing.

CUSTOMIZED HERBAL AND SUPPLEMENT PLAN

We make sure you have the right herbs and supplements to give you all the nutrients you need to optimize your body’s ability to make the natural substances which replenish your nervous system, relieve pain, help you sleep, and enhance inner calm.

 

Individual results vary

No guarantee of specific results is warranted or implied and your results will depend on many factors.
