Treatment Options For Bell's Palsy

Bell's palsy is a disorder caused by trauma to the seventh cranial nerve resulting in paralysis and stiffness of the muscles in the face. The disorder typically only affects one side of the face. While Bell's palsy can affect anyone, research indicates individuals with diabetes and those recovering from viral infections are the most at risk for developing the disorder. In most cases, Bell's palsy is a temporary issue, and most patients make a full recovery. Not every individual diagnosed with Bell's palsy will require treatment and those who do require medical intervention have a wide array of treatment options. Let's get to know some of them now.
