Question
Is acupuncture effective for facial palsy?
Answer
Facial palsy is usually caused by inflammation or other injuries to the facial nerve, resulting in the loss of function in the facial muscles. Acupuncture treatment for facial palsy is a completely viable treatment method. In Western medicine, it is commonly recommended that patients seek out a skilled acupuncturist within one week or after a week to promote the recovery of the facial nerve. As long as the acupuncture is performed correctly, the effects can be quite good.
