What Is Bell's Palsy and what are the common symptoms patients experience?
Bell’s Palsy is a sudden and temporary form of facial paralysis caused by inflammation or irritation of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). Each year, it affects more than 40,000 Americans, and while it is often temporary, the symptoms can significantly impact daily life and emotional well-being.
Common symptoms include:
- Facial droop or asymmetry on one side
- Difficulty closing the eye on the affected side
- Impaired speech and difficulty with facial expressions
- Drooling and altered taste sensation

Bell's Palsy Natural Treatment Options and Holistic Therapies
Herbal Medicine Supports Our Patients During in Bell's Palsy Recovery

- Support nerve repair and regeneration
- Strengthen the immune system and reduce inflammation
- Improve blood circulation

Unlike one-size-fits-all treatments, these formulas are customized to match each patient’s
unique diagnosis and adjusted throughout the recovery process for the best results.
Most of our herbal medicines are available in capsule or tablet form,
and many are sourced from Taiwan and South Korea, where strict quality
standards are maintained.
Acupuncture for Bell’s Palsy: How It Works and Why It Helps
Acupuncture has been used for centuries to treat neurological and muscular conditions, and modern research confirms its effectiveness in supporting recovery from facial paralysis such as Bell’s Palsy. By stimulating specific points on the body and face, acupuncture encourages the body’s natural healing response, helping patients regain movement, reduce discomfort, and restore balance.
- ✔ Improves Muscle Tone: Helps maintain strength and prevents facial muscle atrophy during recovery.
- ✔ Reduces Inflammation: Decreases swelling and irritation around the facial nerve, easing pressure and discomfort.
- ✔ Enhances Microcirculation: Boosts blood flow to facial tissues, supplying vital oxygen and nutrients to speed healing.
- ✔ Supports Nerve Regeneration: Stimulates repair of damaged nerve fibers and improves nerve signaling for better facial control.
- ✔ Relieves Nerve Pressure: Releases tight or overworked muscles that may press on the facial nerve, improving comfort and mobility.
- ✔ Triggers Neurobiological Healing: Encourages the brain to release endorphins and regenerative stem cells that promote long-term recovery.
Distal Acupuncture Technique
Our physicians have learned many different techniques from China, Taiwan, South Korea and Japan in which they use distal acupuncture points (usually in the arms and legs for example) which have been shown to help patients recover from Bell's Palsy.
Traditional Acupuncture Technique
Our team also uses traditional facial acupuncture points along meridians which are related to facial nerves and help to open the energy flow between them. Most patients notice visible results within a few sessions, when they combine treatment with herbs.
Laser Acupuncture for Bell’s Palsy: Safe, Non-Invasive, and Effective
Reduces Facial Inflammation
The gentle light energy of laser acupuncture helps calm inflammation around the facial nerves, reducing pressure and irritation that contribute to weakness and discomfort.
Eases Muscle Tension and Stiffness
By stimulating key acupuncture points without needles, laser therapy can ease facial muscle tension, improve mobility, and reduce stiffness-making it easier for patients to smile, blink, and regain facial expressions.
Promotes Nerve Regeneration
Laser stimulation encourages blood flow and cellular repair, which supports nerve recovery and helps restore normal function in the affected areas of the face.
Non-Invasive Painless Treatment
Laser acupuncture is a safe, gentle, and non-invasive therapy option-especially beneficial for patients who may be sensitive to traditional needling. It provides effective support for healing without discomfort or downtime.
Micro Electro Stimulation Acupuncture for Bell’s Palsy and Nerve Therapy
Promotes functional recovery
MES facilitates motor and sensory neuron regeneration, helping to re-establish nerve connections.
Helps with facial movement
Electrostimulation acupuncture gently activates weakened facial muscles, improving coordination and expression. The therapy enhances nerve conduction so signals travel more effectively from the brain to the muscles. It also supports the repair and maturation of regenerated nerve fibers, promoting stronger connections that restore facial mobility.
Enhances nerve growth and repair
By increasing ATP, MES stimulates cellular processes that accelerate healing.
Yes, estim helps ( when used properly )
Our team is aware that there are physicians that claim that electro stimulation should always be avoided because it can cause synkinesis ( involuntary facial muscle movements ). This is why it's very important to ONLY be treated by someone trained and specializes in Bell's Palsy treatments, with many years of training and experience.
Bell’s Palsy Recovery with Dry Needling Improve Movement and Stiffness
(Yes, it's a form of Acupuncture which we have mastered by having the most complete training)
When it comes to your health, training matters. That's why patients trust Dr. Chapa-he has earned the world's highest certification in Dry Needling, giving you the confidence that every treatment is performed with expert precision and designed for lasting relief.
Bell’s Palsy Treatment with Cupping & Moxibustion To Improve Circulation
Cupping Therapy for Bell's Palsy
Cupping therapy enhances circulation and eases tension in the facial muscles, creating an environment that supports nerve healing and encourages natural movement. Many our our patients experience better blood flow, less stiffness, and quicker improvements in facial function. This can help with recovery, and make it faster to regain facial movement.
Moxibustion Therapy for Bell's Palsy
Our moxibustion treatments gently warm the affected areas, increasing circulation to the facial nerves and muscles to encourage healing. Moxa (Mugwort) has long been used for facial paralysis, and it remains a trusted therapy in many hospitals across Asia—even in emergency care settings.
TheraFace Pro Inovative Integrative Therapy
Relieves Facial Muscle Tension
TheraFace Pro helps relieve facial muscle tension and improve circulation to affected areas. This can feel soothing and also assists with easing tightness or discomfort.
Toning for Muscle Stimulation
The microcurrent feature is designed to gently stimulate and tone facial muscles, and improve muscle responsiveness in areas affected by nerve weakness.
LED Soothes Discomfort
The LED red and infrared light setting offer a calming warmth that can reduce soreness or irritation. These light wavelengths are commonly used in skin therapies to promote healing and collagen production, which contributes to overall facial comfort during recovery.

I got Bells Palsy for the 1st time November 1st, and I booked my acupuncture appointments by the third day. Been going for two weeks straight, 6 treatments a week and seen a 70%-80% improvement in my Bell's Palsy!! I've done about 10-12 treatments and plan on doing more treatments!!! I'm very hopeful the treatment & herbs will help me fully heal. So thankful to have found this clinic. The staff is super friendly and nice. Can't wait to continue to see improvements!! Dr. Chapa & Dr. Juang have been treating me.

I saw Dr.Ney for my Bell's palsy. I'm only in my 30s and woke up one morning to half my face being functional. This caused me a huge amount of stress. I was referred by friend who spoke highly of Dr.Ney. I've never done acupuncture before so I was nervous. Scheduling to see him was a breeze and staff were so kind. Dr.Ney was on time and didn't make me feel embarrassed. After several acupuncture sessions the Bell's palsy went away. During our sessions I was an emotional wreck but he helped me mentally feel better. I felt I got a therapy session and my acupuncture session. He's one of a kind and I am so glad I came here. He saved my face and helped with my mental health. Thank you so much, Dr.Ney! You do not know what you've done for me. I now come here for other needs. It was worth me making the hour drive to come here each time.
