This was the second time Lee was struck by Bell's Palsy , and the first time was when she was 19. After recovery, Dr. Huo provided Lee herbal food recipes to ensure that she would not be struck by Bell's Palsy again.
This patient tried almost all solutions available, and he even tried two acupuncturists before coming to Dr. Huo. He got totally recovered after 12 sessions.
My name is Joseph Borrelli and im 53 years old I was diagnosed with Bells Palsy four weeks ago. I was given steroids and antiviral medications by my doctor and after two weeks I didn't see any change or progress. I searched on the internet for answers to help improve the paralysis on the left side of my face. I could not close my left eye could not raise my eyebrow and had no movement from my lips to my forehead, needless to say I was extremely frustrated and depressed.
I found thru searching that acupuncture has helped in treating Bells. I have had four treatments with Junmin Jin In the past two weeks and I can see a tremendous improvement in my face. I can fully close my left eye and movement has returned to my left side. Id say I'm 50 to 60 % back. Mr. Jin has helped me regain my confidence just like he said he would. He is very knowledgeable, patient and caring. I drive all the way from Binghamton N.Y. a 3 and 1/2 drive just to get acupuncture treatments from Mr. Jin. and its the best decision I've made since I was diagnosed with Bells. I strongly recommend if you have Bells Palsy don't hesitate get in to the professionals you wont be sorry.
When the symptoms of bells palsy presented! I knew I had to go for acupuncture. I searched on the Internet and found HM acupuncture and reviewed their website and read how they catered to patients with my specific medical condition.
I knew I wanted the best and I indeed found the best acupuncturists. I speak with experience as this was not my first time to receive acupuncture treatment.
Dr. Jin, I found not only to be technically proficient, precise, educated and knowledgeable, but also to have a wonderful demeanor. He is extraordinarily positive, confident and soft-spoken, which I desperately needed at this time to feel calm and reassured. I walked in with half my face paralyzed, unaware of whether I would recover or if I would recover when;I left feeling tremendously reassured and optimistic.
After a few treatments, I started to notice improvement. I felt my nerves in my face twitching and tingling which were all very positive signs and gave me such encouragement. Initially I went three times a week in my chronic state and then proceeded to go two times a week. Tomorrow morning will be five weeks and I would estimate my recovery is at 90% .
I've read much recently about traditional Chinese medicine to gain a better understanding of something so foreign to most of us Westerners, but in my opinion while TCM and acupuncture works, much is in the hands of the indigenous practitioner.
Beyond my recovery of bells palsy, I'm going to continue with Dr. Jin to help me with other ailments and conditions that I feel his acupuncture treatment will help cure and stabilize.
I highly recommend this Accupuncture practice !
Firstly, I just want to say that before I started here I was suffering from Bell's Palsy for about to years with very little and slow improvement from the original paralysis on the left side of my face. I could not fully smile, my left eye would constantly squint, I would always tear and have a runny nose when I ate, and so on.
However, after my first visit, (yes! really after one visit there was improvement), my smile was sharper and my eye was less squinty. It was so noticeable that I even received comments from friends and family that my smile got wider. With each subsequent visit, I began to regain full control over my face. After two years of not being able to whistle (because I couldn't move my muscles) I am now able to whistle like I used to. The treatments themselves, I found, were very relaxing. The needles are painless and the moxa (A Chinese herb that when burned emanates heat that heals and is used as a counterirritant) is soothing.
I also found that the acupuncturist that I had was extremely nice and went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable. Something that I found really cool was that at the beginning of every session the acupuncturist took pictures of my face in 4 different poses. And at the beginning of every session the acupuncturist would show a comparison of the pictures just taken and the pictures taken in previous sessions. This was extremely helpful showing me my progression and healing through out the session. I highly recommend this clinic if you are suffering from Bell's Palsy or even if you are looking for any other miscellaneous acupuncture treatment. I really love this place.
