Bell's palsy is a weakness that effects the muscles of the face. It develops suddenly, usually on one side of the face. The cause is not clear but most cases are probably due to a viral infection. Most people make a full recovery within 2-3 months. A course of steroid tablets started within 72 hours of it starting improves the chance of full recovery even further. You should protect your eye if you cannot close your eyelids fully.

What is Bell's palsy?

Bell's palsy is a weakness (paralysis) that affects the muscles of the face. It is due to a problem with the facial nerve. The weakness usually affects one side of the face. Rarely, both sides are affected. Many people who have a Bell's palsy at first think that they have had a stroke. This is not so. Bell's palsy is very different to a stroke and full recovery occurs in most cases. Bell's palsy is named after the doctor who first described it.

What is Facial palsy

Overcoming the effects of facial paralysis is a long and difficult process. Dr. Arun Nair and the team know the importance that each step along the journey to facial reanimation has in a successful recovery. Our goal is to provide a physical therapy program that will help facilitate facial symmetry and improve facial paralysis. With the proper exercise and physical therapy, facial paralysis patients can recover some of their lost facial movement and regain the animation in their facial expressions. Whether your journey to facial reanimation includes surgery and physical therapy or just the therapy itself, our staff is committed to helping you every step of the way.

At The Facial Paralysis Institute, we stress the importance of being evaluated by an expert neuromuscular therapist to learn the proper exercises for your condition. Every facial paralysis patient is unique and has a different functional profile. Therefore, there is no one physical therapy protocol that works for everyone. Upon evaluation with our physical therapists, you will learn the exact exercises that will benefit you the most.
