Do you find “waiting to see what happens” to be as frustrating as most people do?

Tired of waiting around, doing nothing, to see when your Bell’s palsy gets better? Do you want to be proactive?

Bell’s palsy is a type of facial paralysis that impacts one side of the face and leaves it looking droopy. It makes it hard to close the eye on the affected side, makes it hard to drink from a cup, and it may dramatically impact one’s appearance.

Bell's palsy seems to benefit from acupuncture. Rather than sitting around to see what happens, take action today and try to speed up results. Call Dr. Lou at (207) 774-6251

It often looks like the affected person has had a stroke. It is not a stroke though, it is caused by damage to the “facial nerve.” Acupuncture has been reported by many patients to have seemingly sped up the process of healing and improving function. Acupuncture may stimulate the facial and other nerves, as well as muscles, leading to a speedier gain of control over ones facial tone and movements.

Despite being fairly rare at 200,000 cases a year in the U.S., Dr. Lou has worked with people with bell’s palsy dozens and dozens of times. The majority of the time, people notice a more rapid improvement than they were otherwise getting. The question is, are you cool with waiting to see what happens? Or do you want to try to be proactive and get things improving quicker?

What if waiting to see what happens, leads to nothing happening. Then what?

Your doctor may have told you, the longer Bell’s palsy does not get better, the less likely it will get better. Call today, have your questions answered, schedule today, have a plan of action from Dr. Lou. Acupuncture really seems to help people with Bell’s palsy. Rather than sitting around and waiting to be able to drink from a cup again, you may be able to speed things up and get back to your normal self. Ask the person in the mirror how long you want to live without taking action.

Acupuncture has been proven to help with pain. If you or someone you know has pain with or without Bell’s palsy, all the more reason to get help today.
