What Is Bell’s Palsy?

Bell’s Palsy is a condition caused by inflammation of the facial nerve, leading to sudden weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. Common symptoms include:

• Difficulty smiling or closing one eye
• Drooping on one side of the face
• Changes in speech or eating
• Reduced facial expressions

Although it can be frightening, most people improve significantly with the right treatment plan. That’s where physical therapy comes in.

How Physical Therapy Helps with Bell’s Palsy

As Doctors of Physical Therapy, our role goes beyond exercise. At ProActive Physical Therapy and Wellness, we use advanced techniques to stimulate nerve recovery, retrain facial muscles, and restore symmetry. Treatment approaches may include:

• Neuromuscular re-education to improve coordination and strength
• Manual therapy to address tightness and improve mobility
• Electrical stimulation to support nerve-muscle connection
• Dry needling for pain reduction and muscle activation

Our goal is to help patients return to normal daily activities, communicate confidently, and restore their quality of life.
