Bell’s Palsy / Facial Palsy Treatment at Divine Physiotherapy
What is Bell’s Palsy / Facial Palsy?
Bell’s Palsy, also known as Facial Palsy, is a condition that causes sudden weakness or paralysis of the muscles on one side of the face. It occurs due to nerve inflammation, often leading to difficulty in smiling, blinking, or closing the eye on the affected side. While the condition is usually temporary, proper physiotherapy can speed up recovery and improve facial muscle function.
Causes of Bell’s Palsy
Facial palsy occurs due to inflammation or damage to the facial nerve. Some common causes include:
Viral Infections – Such as herpes simplex (cold sores) or other viral infections.
Nerve Inflammation – Swelling of the facial nerve can disrupt muscle control.
Weak Immune System – Conditions like diabetes or stress can increase the risk.
Cold Exposure – Sudden temperature changes may trigger facial nerve issues.
