This is the #1 question our patients ask. How many Acupuncture sessions you need and how long it takes are determined by primarily two factors: 1.) how is your health situation in general ? 2.) how long have you been struck by Bell's Palsy?
If your general health situation before BP is good, and you are within the first four weeks of BP, you can expect to feel and see progress within the first 3 sessions. During the whole course of treatment, the recovery is a gradual process. Most of patients get full recovery within 6-10 sessions of acupuncture treatments (mostly finish in 3 weeks to 2 months depended on the frequency of treatments assigned by Acupuncturists based on indivindual cases).
We have a progress report form to track the progress of our patients. Here are two samples about how the progress looks like:
Of course, the above is just general ideas aiming to give you some information of the whole process. For your case and situation, our Acupuncturist can provide more specific estimation only after examing you in person.
If you got BP significantly longer than four weeks, or your facial paralysis is a result of your other health problems, Please do not refer to the above summarization, and you need see our Acupuncturist in person to obtain the estimation of recovery.
