On June 8, 1998, I awoke to find the left side of my face totally paralyzed. My family M.D. diagnosed the problem as Bell’s Palsy. He advised that nothing could be done to treat the problem and that normally recovery begins in 3 to 6 weeks and is complete in approximately 6 months, with 80% to 100% recovery.

By June 15, the problem had worsened. I could not close my left eye without pushing it closed with my finger. I had to tape it shut when I slept. I could not keep my lips closed. Because of numbness, I bit my lips and the inside of my left cheek every time I ate. I had a constant low grade earache and my jaw was sensitive to touch. On June 13, 1998, a friend told me that she knew a Chiropractic Physician who had had success in treating Bell’s Palsy. While I was skeptical, I was so miserable and so depressed, I was willing to try anything.

On June 16, 1998, I visited Dr. Bradley Nelson. He adjusted my jaw, neck, and head. He used an Activator to assist in some of these procedures. At completion of the visit, he gave me a supply of Detox pills.

On June 17, 1998, I had a follow-up visit with Dr. Nelson. By the end of the day, I noticed some very minor movement in the left side of my lips.

By June 18, 1998, I was able to close my left eye and keep my lips closed. The earache was gone.

By June 22, 1998, my eye was working normally and I had recovered approximately 70% of my lost feeling and muscle control.

On June 24, 1998, I had a follow-up visit with Dr. Nelson. By June 29, 1998, I had fully recovered.

I unconditionally recommend Dr. Nelson for treatment of Bell’s Palsy. The treatment and the recovery can only be described as amazing!!
