How Does Acupuncture Help with Bell’s Palsy?
Developing Bell’s palsy can feel a bit like a practical joke. You look in the mirror, and something’s not quite right. You eat a snack, but your lips feel numb. Suddenly, you can’t blink one eye or smile. You may even get nervous, wondering if you’ve had a stroke.
Live Fatigue-Free: How to Boost Your Energy Naturally
Do you wake up tired? Do you rely on caffeine and sugar to get you through the day? Do you feel like you need a nap after every meal? Unfortunately, fatigue and exhaustion have become a silent epidemic in our modern lives. We brush off our tiredness as a sign of a productive day, or “just a phase” we’re going through. The truth is, being chronically fatigued robs us of our physical, cognitive, and emotional health.
FAQ: Wellnest Denver Acupuncture for Bell’s Palsy
How does acupuncture help with Bell’s palsy?
Acupuncture works by communicating with the nervous system to quiet pain signals, clear excess inflammation, improve nerve function, and reverse facial paralysis.
From a Chinese medicine point of view, Bell’s palsy is considered a “blockage” in the flow of energy through the acupuncture channels of the face. This blockage prevents qi and blood from getting to the muscles and nerves, which makes that side of the face stiff and unable to move.
Acupuncture for Bell’s palsy works by re-establishing healthy circulation and nerve function and addressing any underlying causes that may have made you susceptible to Bell’s palsy.
When should I start treatment?
The best results come when you start acupuncture as soon as possible once developing Bell’s Palsy. The sooner you start treatment, the more effective acupuncture will be and you’ll have a greater chance of full recovery.
If you begin acupuncture treatment weeks after developing Bell’s Palsy, you may still see results and improvements, but you will need a longer course of treatment.
How many acupuncture treatments will I need?
We recommend starting with two treatments per week for four weeks to get the best results. At that point, we will re-evaluate your plan based on your progress.
Most people see positive results after just three weeks of treatments. Results vary from person to person and also depend on your overall health condition and how severely the nerves have been damaged.
What should I expect at my first acupuncture visit?
At Wellnest Denver, we aim for all our treatments to be gentle, effective, and enjoyable. Whether it’s your first acupuncture visit or your fiftieth, we’ll walk you through every step of the way and make sure you are comfortable from start to finish!

Then, we’ll dive into your acupuncture treatment. You’ll get comfortable on our treatment bed and receive a tailored acupuncture session to restore nerve function and reverse Bell’s Palsy.
Afterward, you’ll leave feeling rested and have actionable steps to take at home to improve your recovery between visits. Click here to schedule your first visit!
Are there any side effects of acupuncture for Bell’s Palsy?
Acupuncture is 100% safe and natural. Research even shows that acupuncture is “associated with increased cure rate and total effective rate of the treatment of Bell’s palsy in comparison with drugs.”
It’s normal to feel a slight pinch or tingle during your treatment, but those sensations subside after a few seconds and you will start to feel relaxed.
Since acupuncture works to balance the entire body (no matter your main health concern) you may also experience better sleep, improved digestion, a stronger immune system, and a general sense of wellbeing.
