A member asked:

Pinched nerve in the spine can cause temp face paralysis bell palsy? started sleeping on right side and started moving left face.inflammation? chiro?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clarification: First, would not recommend chiropractor. Secondly, not clear to me that you truly have "pinched nerve in the spine". Thirdly, spine problems do not cause Bell's palsy. Suggest you find REAL doctor with MD or DO degree, and have all of this evaluated.
