Facial Palsy Treatment : This is also called facial paralysis .It means that a person is no longer able to move some or all of the muscles on one or both sides of the face.
Possible causes of facial palsy
- Damage or swelling of the facial nerve, which carries signals from the brain to the muscles of the face.
- Damage to the area of the brain that sends signals to the muscles of the face.
- Weakness of the facial muscles that can occur in neurologic diseases such as myasthenia gravis or some myopathies and muscular dystrophies can lead to facial palsy
- Surgical trauma, examples can be damage during removal of tumour (Acoustic Neuroma or parotid gland tumour)
What to do when you have facial palsy
- Visit a Physiotherapist as quick as possible
- Facial exercises can be performed at home.
- You need to be patient, and work the muscles gently.
- You should go through the exercises not less than three times each day.
- Repetitions & frequency of exercises should be modified according to improvement status.
- Pay attention to your face as you exercise – focus on watching and feeling what the good side is doing, and then mentally visualize it on the Bell’s palsy side and try to recreate it in tiny increments.
- Exercise in short sessions, but increase the frequency of exercises, more if you can. Quantity is not as important as quality, so don’t do your exercises when you’re tired. It’s better to exercise correctly just a few times than to do it incorrectly many times.
