Question
Auntie has had facial paralysis for some time now, and no matter how she is treated, complete recovery is very slow. Someone suggested she try physical therapy. What types of physical therapy are available for facial paralysis?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, for patients with facial paralysis, physical therapy is often effective during the acute phase, such as through acupuncture, electroacupuncture stimulation, and moxibustion for rehabilitation. If the course of the disease exceeds one month, it may be a permanent facial paralysis, and the effectiveness of the aforementioned treatments may not be significant. During the illness, patients should avoid cold wind blowing on their faces and maintain a light diet.
