Bell's palsy is a form of facial paralysis resulting from a dysfunction of the cranial nerve VII, the facial nerve, causing an inability to control facial muscles on the affected side. Several conditions can cause facial paralysis.
Powers Chiropractic will go over the classical cranial and muscle treatments that have helped other patients with Bell's palsy. There is often extra fluid around the brain that is causing the nerve to be pitched of cranial nerve 7. There are many people that the disease goes away with doing nothing. There are a few who had a persistent facial paralysis. Dr. Powers will go over holistic treatment and case studies of treating this condition for short term (two weeks) facial paralysis or long term so that people know how the body can heal when they have had this condition over a short or longer period of time.
The lecture will be at 6:30 p.m. Monday at Powers Chiropractic, 2585 Post Road, Plover. Call 715-341-7102 to reserve a seat. Please bring a canned good to be donated to St. Vincent de Paul, which is sponsoring the event.
