While the symptoms of Bell's palsy can resemble those of a stroke or brain tumor, there are no direct connections between them -- and often when there is no explanation for a person’s facial paralysis, the diagnosis is Bell's palsy.<br>Acupuncture for Bell’s Palsy in Tulsa<br>Everyone who suffers from Bell's palsy should seek out the help of an experienced acupuncturist.
