Addressing Bell’s Palsy: The Potential of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care

Addressing Bell's Palsy: The Potential of Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care

Bell’s Palsy is a condition that causes sudden, temporary weakness or paralysis of the facial muscles, often leading to significant discomfort and distress. While traditional treatments vary, upper cervical chiropractic care offers a non-invasive approach that may aid in managing the symptoms and promoting recovery.

At Restore Chiropractic Center in Ralston, NE, we focus on providing specialized care that targets the root causes of nerve dysfunction associated with Bell’s Palsy.

Understanding Bell’s Palsy

Bell’s Palsy is believed to occur when the facial nerve, which controls the muscles on one side of the face, becomes inflamed. This inflammation can result from viral infections, stress, or other factors, leading to symptoms such as drooping of the mouth, inability to close the eye, and facial pain.

The Role of Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Bell’s Palsy

Upper cervical chiropractic care focuses on the alignment of the top two vertebrae in the spine, the atlas and axis, which are crucial for overall nerve function and health.

Proper alignment in this area can have several beneficial effects for those suffering from Bell’s Palsy:

  • Reducing Nerve Pressure: Misalignments in the upper cervical spine can put pressure on the nerves, exacerbating symptoms. Adjustments can help relieve this pressure, promoting better nerve function.
  • Enhancing Nervous System Function: Correct alignment supports the optimal function of the nervous system, which is essential for nerve recovery and health.
  • Holistic Approach: Upper cervical chiropractic care takes a holistic approach, addressing overall body balance and health, which can contribute to improved outcomes for Bell’s Palsy patients.
