I have had some favorable results using acupuncture to treat nerve damage in the face.
Good Afternoon, Acupuncture can work with facial nerve damage including trigeminal neuralgia, and nerve damage from a stroke. Using electrostimulation on the nerves along with scalp acupuncture, the rate of success is very high.
Yes, acupuncture may help with facial nerve damage. Studies suggest that acupuncture may be effective in treating paralysis of the facial nerve, which is often caused by damage to the nerve or its injury to the surrounding soft tissue. It may also help to promote healing by increasing circulation and reducing inflammation which may lead to improved nerve function. However, acupuncture should not be used as a replacement for medical treatment. It is best to consult with a qualified health professional to discuss the best treatment option for you.
I believe so. Acupuncture with massage, and sometimes herbs, should gradually help with your facial nerve damage over time. It may take a while to get back to normal. I suggest a consultation to come up with a treatment plan.
Yes, I am currently treating a patient with Bells Palsy. There are lots of ways your acupuncturist can help with nerve damage.

Generally, yes, acupuncture is a good treatment choice for nerve pain or nerve damage. This is something that can take a while to improve though, so be prepared to attend 5-7 treatments.
Most definitely, acupuncture can help with facial nerve damage. You will likely need an initial course of 10-12 treatments. Depending on how well you improve, the acupuncturist will recommend additional treatment. Generally, the more recent and mild the condition, the less treatment is needed. Therefore, if you have had the numbness for years and it is severe, more acupuncture treatments will be needed.
