Bell’s Palsy
The sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of your face. The eye that won’t fully close. The smile that only works on one side. You were told most cases resolve on their own within weeks or months, and you’re still waiting. There is a different way to support Bell’s palsy recovery: actively treat the facial nerve, not just wait for it to heal.
Rapid-onset weakness or paralysis on one side of the face, difficulty closing the eye, drooping at the mouth, altered taste, sound sensitivity, symptoms that appear within hours and can take weeks or months to resolve, if they resolve fully at all.
The disorientation of a face that doesn’t match how you feel inside. Self-consciousness in every conversation. The worry, as weeks pass, about whether this is the case that doesn’t fully recover.
A meaningful share of cases don’t achieve full recovery with observation alone. You deserve active treatment of the facial nerve during the window when intervention matters most, not just reassurance and time.
The standard playbook is a short course of steroids, eye protection, and time, with a “let’s see how it resolves” approach. What’s missing is active, direct treatment of the facial nerve to support recovery, particularly for cases that aren’t improving on the expected timeline.
Patients arrive here at every stage, newly diagnosed, or months in with incomplete recovery. Both are treated with direct, active support for the facial nerve, rather than a “wait and see” approach alone.
The clinical logic: The acupuncture directly targets the facial nerve pathway, a technique with a long history of use alongside facial paralysis. ATP Resonance BioTherapy® supports cellular repair in the nerve and surrounding facial muscles. O3 ReBoot Therapy® supports circulation and oxygen delivery to the inflamed facial nerve.
Nothing changes with your medications except through your prescriber. Physicians across Broward County send us the Bell’s palsy cases that stalled past the standard window, and many patients simply send themselves. Eye protection guidance from your physician stays essential throughout.

There’s no fixed number of visits and no generic timeline. Your treatment frequency, therapy mix, and program length are set at your evaluation and adjusted at every visit based on how you’re actually responding.
How long you’ve had it and how far it’s progressed sets your starting intensity.
Visit frequency steps up or down based on your measured progress at each visit, not a preset week count.
Symptom relief, or a return to the things you miss: we define the finish line with you, not for you.
Candidacy comes first: the evaluation determines whether the program fits your case; cost is discussed in person after that.
Tell us when symptoms started and how they’ve progressed. We evaluate your case, including whether you’re not a candidate.
A plan built around how long you’ve had symptoms and your current level of function. Progress is measured against your day-one baseline, not guessed, and the plan adjusts as you respond.
An eye that closes on its own. Coffee without the straw.
A smile that arrives on both sides.
A photo you don’t angle away from.
Blinking without thinking about blinking.
Facial nerve recovery is generally more complete the earlier active treatment begins. Cases that stall past the first few months are less likely to fully self-resolve without intervention, and can lead to lasting asymmetry, unwanted muscle movements, or incomplete eye closure.
Your initial consultation is $45. Tell us your story, and we’ll evaluate your case.
