Question
My mouth is crooked and my eyes don’t align; past treatment and outcomes: through intravenous and intramuscular injections, plus acupuncture. Now, the right side of my face shows no significant improvement. I’m seeking advice: do I need to continue with long-term acupuncture?
Answer
Facial nerve injuries can be partial or complete. Partial injuries may have a chance of full recovery, while complete injuries are very rare. Regardless, it’s important to actively create conditions for recovery. Recovery from nerve damage is extremely slow, and treatment should be comprehensive, including medication, acupuncture, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, and more. The golden period for nerve recovery is typically 3 months to one year.
