The lasting effects of Bell's Palsy can be difficult to recover from, and the recovery process can vary greatly from one person to another. While some individuals make a full recovery within 3 to 6 months, others may experience longer-term effects, such as involuntary facial movements or lasting pain and discomfort, over the span of months or even years.
Patients may not only experience physical symptoms, but emotional and mental symptoms as well. These can include feelings of depression, anxiety, or low self esteem. In some cases, patients with Bell’s Palsy can experience chronic facial weakness, facial muscle spasms, or mental health problems that do not resolve over time.
If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, we want to reach out and offer a solution for you or your loved one. Our Acupuncturist in Richmond can help you recover from the symptoms of Bell’s Palsy, using Traditional Chinese Medicine methods. Traditional Chinese Medicine is a scientifically backed form of holistic medicine that can treat a variety of conditions, including Bell’s Palsy.
At Evolve Therapeutic, Our acupuncturist, Dr. Jonathan Zhang (T.C.M), has extensive experience treating patients with Bell's Palsy using a combination of both acupuncture and herbs.
