Bells Palsy Treatment with Red Light Therapy in Fort Worth

Bell's palsy paralyzes facial muscles when the seventh cranial nerve swells inside a narrow bone canal. Red light therapy reduces that swelling and helps the nerve recover function faster.

Do you feel like you've tried everything from physical therapy to chiropractic and and it's helping? 

Red and near-infrared light (660nm and 850nm) penetrate tissue around the affected facial nerve. The wavelengths reduce inflammation and increase ATP production in nerve cells, which gives them energy to repair damage and restore signal transmission. Studies show red light speeds recovery time and reduces the chance of permanent weakness.

Patients report:

• Faster return of smile symmetry and eye closure
• Less twitching or tightness as the nerve heals
• Reduced time to full recovery (weeks instead of months)
• Lower risk of synkinesis (unwanted muscle movements during recovery)

Sessions run 15 to 20 minutes, focusing light on the affected side of your face. We treat 5 times per week for the first 2 weeks, then 3 times per week for weeks 3 through 8. Most people see movement return between week 2 and week 6. Treatment continues until function fully returns or progress plateaus.

People diagnosed with Bell's palsy within the first 2 weeks see best results, but we also treat cases up to 3 months old. If you're already doing physical therapy or taking steroids, red light works alongside those treatments to speed nerve healing.
