Bell's palsy

[neuromuscular]

Dear tunglokc;

I noticed that the replies which I read ignored the possibility of the cranial nerves being impinged at the C1 to occiput.

I have found that by releasing the longus capitus, the sypmtoms abated the most rapidly.

I am not sure of all of the replies, but have you tried this?

Other muscles that may be a factor are the anterior suboccipitals: rectus capitus anterior, and rectus capitus lateralis. The pressure on the cranial nerves becomes reduced as these are treated and the conditions tend to abate faster.

Sorry if someone else has posted this, but I read much of the information and found tht this is not covered. NUCCA chiropractic has a similar approach, but this differs in that the muscles are treated specifically instead of a positional treatment.

Hope that this is helpful.

Best regards,
Neuromuscular.

Hi,

I came across a study done by an occupational therapist on the effectiveness of taping method in Bell's palsy..
