At Rosedale Acupuncture & Wellness Center, we are passionate about offering holistic, evidence-informed care for conditions that affect your quality of life, including Bell’s palsy.
If you or a loved one has experienced the sudden onset of facial drooping, difficulty closing one eye, or asymmetry in your smile, you understand how unsettling and frustrating Bell’s palsy can be.
Fortunately, acupuncture offers a natural and supportive path to healing and we’re here to help guide you through it.
Bell’s palsy is a condition in which the facial nerve becomes inflamed or compressed, typically causing one side of the face to become weak or paralyzed. While the exact cause isn’t always clear, it’s often linked to viral infections or immune-related inflammation. Standard treatment typically includes corticosteroids and sometimes antivirals, but many patients are left wondering if there’s more they can do to accelerate recovery and prevent long-term effects.
That’s where we come in
A comprehensive review published in PLOS ONE analyzed 14 clinical trials involving over 1,500 patients with Bell’s palsy and found that acupuncture showed a higher rate of effectiveness compared to standard treatments alone. While the study called for further research due to variability in quality, the results were promising: acupuncture may stimulate facial nerve function, reduce inflammation, and promote blood flow to affected areas, all of which can support the body’s natural healing process.
At Rosedale, we’ve seen firsthand how targeted acupuncture treatments can benefit those recovering from Bell’s palsy. We use a gentle, personalized approach, often combining facial acupuncture points with body points that support nervous system function and immune balance. We take the time to understand your unique presentation, because every face and every healing journey is different.
Many of our clients report improvement in muscle movement, reduced facial stiffness, and enhanced symmetry within a few weeks of treatment. Beyond just needles, we offer supportive therapies like ATP stimulation pads, gentle cupping, herbal medicine, and lifestyle guidance to support whole-body healing.
What makes Rosedale Acupuncture different is our warm, community-focused environment. When you walk through our doors, you’re not just a patient, you’re a partner in your wellness.
We understand the emotional toll that facial paralysis can take, and we’re here to support not just your physical recovery, but your confidence and peace of mind as well.
If you or someone you know is navigating Bell’s palsy and looking for a natural, supportive approach to recovery, we invite you to schedule a consultation at Rosedale Acupuncture & Wellness Center. Let’s work together to restore movement, rebuild symmetry, and reclaim your smile… One gentle, healing session at a time.
