Bell’s palsy can appear suddenly and be deeply distressing, often causing facial weakness or paralysis, difficulty closing the eye, drooping, and changes in sensation or expression. At Golden Crane Acupuncture, we offer a gentle, supportive approach to recovery using acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine. Our focus is to help reduce inflammation, support nerve regeneration, and encourage the body’s natural healing process.

Each treatment is customized to your specific stage of recovery and symptom pattern, because Bell’s palsy can present differently and progress at different rates. Acupuncture may help improve blood flow to the affected facial nerves, reduce inflammation, and support muscle function and symmetry over time. Herbal medicine can also be used to support internal balance and recovery. Our goal is compassionate, individualized care that helps restore function, improve comfort, and support the best possible recovery outcome.
