Bell's Palsy Treatment Q & A
What is Bell’s Palsy?
Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes temporary facial paralysis or weakness due to inflammation or compression of the facial nerve. It often appears suddenly, affecting one side of the face, and can be triggered by viral infections, stress, or trauma.
Symptoms may include:
Drooping on one side of the face
Inability to close the eye or smile fully
Drooling or difficulty speaking
Headaches or jaw pain
Sensitivity to sound or light
How does physical therapy help Bell’s Palsy?
While some cases improve on their own, physical therapy can significantly speed up recovery and improve long-term outcomes. Our therapists use techniques to:
Stimulate facial nerve activity
Improve muscle coordination and symmetry
Reduce muscle stiffness and prevent tightness
Relieve pain and pressure
Support emotional well-being through guided recovery
What treatments are used for Bell’s Palsy?
Clifton Physical Therapy offers a range of personalized treatments for Bell’s Palsy, including:
Facial neuromuscular retraining (targeted facial exercises)
Electrical stimulation for nerve reactivation
Manual therapy to reduce tightness and promote circulation
Mirror therapy and biofeedback for improved control
Acupuncture to stimulate nerve healing
Cupping to relieve muscle tension (if associated with TMJ or neck pain)
Redcord suspension therapy to improve posture and reduce stress-related strain
When should I start therapy?
The sooner you begin therapy, the better your outcomes. Early intervention can prevent long-term complications like muscle tightness, facial asymmetry, or synkinesis (unintended facial movements). Even if your diagnosis was months ago, physical therapy can still help restore function and confidence.
