Bell’s Palsy Causes and Symptoms

Bell’s palsy is caused by some degree of trauma to what’s known as the facial nerve. It can happen to anyone, but those particularly susceptible include individuals with diabetes or those who might have recently had a viral infection.

The sudden and very odd feeling of paralysis might have you convinced that you’re having a stroke, and that can be a terrifying thought. But the condition will be confined to one side of your face only, and it will eventually go away. A stroke, on the other hand, would most likely also affect other parts of your body and be a much more serious condition.

Regardless of the cause, the trauma causes swelling of the affected nerve, which causes it to press against the skull. That messes up how the nerve operates and you’re left with the feeling of having a frozen or limp face, but only on the one side.

Acupuncture Relief

Acupuncture involves the painless placement of very thin needless on various regions of the body. Acupuncture treatment for Bell’s palsy restores nerve function by improving the circulation of blood in the face and reducing the inflammation.

As mysterious as it sounds, even ancient Asian medical practitioners have long understood at least one effective way of responding to what we now call Bell’s palsy. Acupuncture has been a recognized treatment in Chinese culture for thousands of years.

Balanced Health Medical in Midtown New York City, is a leading chiropractic clinic that also extends physical therapy and rehabilitative services. We’re also highly trained in the medical science of acupuncture to safely and effectively treat Bell’s palsy and other medical conditions.
