Bell’s Palsy can be sudden, frightening, and deeply distressing—especially when conventional medicine simply recommends “wait and watch.” At Patients Medical in NYC, we offer a proactive, integrative approach to stimulate nerve regeneration, reduce inflammation, and restore facial function faster using Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and functional medicine.
Our goal isn’t just symptom relief—it’s complete recovery and facial symmetry restoration.
Bell’s Palsy is a form of temporary facial paralysis or weakness caused by inflammation or compression of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). It usually affects one side of the face and develops rapidly, often overnight.
Prompt care is key. The earlier treatment begins, the better the prognosis.
Functional medicine focuses on identifying the underlying triggers for nerve inflammation. Potential root causes include:

We tailor anti-inflammatory, nerve-healing nutrition plans, rich in:
We offer IV formulations that nourish and repair nerve tissue, including:
Acupuncture improves nerve signaling, muscle tone, and lymphatic drainage. Facial motor point stimulation encourages symmetrical recovery.
Evidence-based herbal support for antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and nerve-protective effects:

We’re out-of-network, but we provide superbills. Some diagnostics or medications may be partially reimbursed.
It’s never too late. We’ve seen great results even in patients beginning treatment later—but early intervention yields faster results.
