At Mr. Yu Master Acupuncture & Healthcare, we use a comprehensive Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) approach to help individuals experiencing facial or body paralysis, including conditions like Bell’s palsy, stroke-related paralysis, or peripheral nerve weakness.
From a TCM perspective, paralysis often arises from Qi and blood stagnation, wind-cold or wind-heat invasion, and blockage in meridians that govern muscles and nerves. By promoting circulation, restoring energy flow, and relaxing tight muscles, TCM helps support improved muscle function, coordination, and overall recovery.
