Question

Hello doctor, I had a craniotomy due to a car accident, and I have developed facial paralysis on the right side of my face. What treatment methods are available?

Answer

I recommend trying the recently invented intra-oral acupuncture technique. This method improves facial paralysis symptoms by stimulating the masseter muscle, which is more effective than traditional superficial acupuncture. Additionally, it is very important to find reactive points on the first vertebra of the cervical spine for acupuncture, as the nerves of the face originate from the neck, and muscle compression in the neck may be one of the causes of facial paralysis. These are treatment suggestions proposed by some industry experts in recent years. I suggest you seek out a highly skilled acupuncturist for treatment, as you may experience satisfactory results. You can try the methods I mentioned, and they usually yield good results.
