Bells palsy is a condition that can cause paralysis or weakness of the muscles in the face. It is caused by damage to the facial nerve, and can often resolve on its own within a few weeks. However, in some cases, bells palsy can lead to complications such as chronic pain, muscle contractures, and problems with eating and drinking.
Bells palsy treatment Parkland typically involves physical therapy to help improve muscle function, and may also include medications to reduce pain and inflammation. Without treatment, bells palsy can often improve on its own; however, the risk of complications is increased. For this reason, it is important to see a doctor if you experience any symptoms of bells palsy. Early diagnosis and treatment can help to minimize the risk of complications and improve the chances of a full recovery.
