Bell's Palsy; Finding Balance at Zamora Acupuncture

What is Bell's Palsy?

Bell's Palsy is a condition that leads to weakness in the muscles on one side of the face, causing it to droop. Common symptoms include facial drooping, drooling, pain on the affected side, increased sensitivity, headaches, and loss of taste. Although this condition usually does not last long-term, it can be quite frustrating to experience and may impact daily activities.

How can acupuncture help?

Acupuncture is an effective method for promoting healing and alleviating symptoms associated with Bell's Palsy. It can provide pain relief, improve muscle function, and reduce inflammation. Additionally, acupuncture may help lower stress levels that can arise from this condition. By enhancing the body’s natural healing process, acupuncture may also shorten the duration of Bell's Palsy and improve overall well-being. Dr. Kourtney Zamora, D.Ac., has had great success treating patients with Bell's Palsy and is eager to support you on your healing journey.

What is the experience like during an acupuncture treatment?

You will first meet with Dr. Zamora, who will inquire about your medical history and specific symptoms related to Bell's Palsy, such as facial weakness, pain, or discomfort. This assessment helps tailor the treatment to your individual needs. 

Using very thin, sterile needles, Dr. Zamora will insert them at specific points on your body that correspond to the facial muscles and nerves affected by Bell's Palsy. 

After the session, she will carefully remove the needles and may discuss her observations, any immediate effects you may have noticed, and recommendations for follow-up treatments. Patients often leave feeling more relaxed, with reduced pain and improved facial function over time.

Overall, the acupuncture treatment experience at Zamora Acupuncture is designed to be supportive and healing, aimed at enhancing the body’s natural recovery processes related to Bell's Palsy.

What are patients saying?

“From the time I arrived in Dr. Zamora's office until I was treated in the exam room, everyone was most friendly and professional.
