Bell's palsy is a condition characterized by the sudden onset of weakness or paralysis on one side of the face. It occurs due to inflammation or damage to the facial nerve, resulting in difficulties with facial movement and expression. At Prognosia Advanced Physiotherapy Clinic Gurgaon, we offer comprehensive treatment options to assist individuals with Bell's palsy in restoring facial function and improving their quality of life.
Causes of Bell's Palsy?
The exact cause of Bell's palsy is not yet fully understood. However, it is believed to be a result of various factors, including:
Viral Infection: The most common theory suggests that viral infections, such as the herpes simplex virus (HSV), herpes zoster virus (shingles), or Epstein-Barr virus, may trigger the condition. These viruses cause inflammation and swelling of the facial nerve, leading to compression and dysfunction.
Autoimmune Response: In some cases, Bell's palsy may occur as a result of an autoimmune response, where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the facial nerve.
Other Factors: Certain factors may increase the risk of developing Bell's palsy, such as a family history of the condition, pregnancy, diabetes, respiratory infections, and emotional stress.
