Physical therapy for facial palsy can be initiated in the early stages. Common treatment methods include laser therapy and ultra-shortwave therapy. Laser therapy involves selecting Yang Bai, Qi Xia, Chi Ka, Di Kang, and He Gu points on the affected side. Low-power helium-neon laser is focused through a lens with a power of 6328, 0.6-3M distance, and a spot size of 0.1-0.2cm, capable of piercing tissue up to 10-15mm deep. Ultra-shortwave therapy is a type of ultra-shortwave electrotherapy that features a 40W power, 6 micron wavelength, round electrode, with an 8cm diameter, placed 1cm diagonally in front and behind the patient’s ear, over the mastoid process, and performs mild heat treatment.
