"I was diagnosed with Bell's Palsy on June 4th. I was having very bad nerve pain and couldn't move most of the right side of my face. Today was my final acupuncture session with Satoru. I finally have most of my movement back and I couldn't be happier. I noticed a difference during AND right after my first acupuncture session with him. I don't think I wouldn't healed as fast as I did if I hadn't gone to see Satoru. He's very attentive and is great at what he does. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!"

Sounds Familiar? 

You wake up and you’re feeling an odd sensation along your face.  There’s tingling muscle twitching, or numbness.  You start to notice that you can’t chew normally, your sense of taste is off, and you can’t move your mouth to make a smile.  

At times, this can be accompanied with an intense pain around the ear that spreads into the face.  When you look in the mirror you notice that half of your face is “drooping”.  It’s frightening and often time people wonder if they’re having a stroke.  

You got to the emergency room and you’re told you have Bell’s Palsy. You’re given steroids and antiviral medication, told recovery could take anywhere from a couple weeks to 6 months, and sent home. 

But what’s next…

The prospect of it taking up to 6 months for the face to look ‘normal’ again is daunting and stressful.  You wonder if there are ways up to safely speed-up and maximize your recovery.  

Learn to be pain free WITHOUT painful injections, meds, confusing exercises, overwhelming diets and supplement regimens.

Our Powerful Blend of 100% Natural Therapies works for All Types of Bell's Palsy symptoms, including:

Why do Our Natural Treatments Work So Well?

Acupuncture: Abdominal diagnosis

We Address the Root Cause 

Our process includes finding and approaching the actual root cause of your Bell’s Palsy.  This is why so many have found relief with our therapies, even though other therapies didn’t work.  Even those with a chronic history of facial paralysis (6+ months) have experienced significant relief.

We Keep it Simple and results are Quick

Recovering the nerve inflammation that causes Bell’s Palsy does not have to be difficult or take a long time.  Simple, targeted lifestyle and diet changes, along with our targeted natural therapies, are a very clear and concise way to attack the problem head-on. And patients often see improved energy within Days, not Weeks or Months.  

Acupuncture: Chinese Herbal Medicine

We use an All-Natural Approach that Your Doctor doesn't know about

Your doctor might have told you that medication and time is the ONLY answer or that you have to just live with your Bell’s Palsy and accompanying the symptoms or “this is as good as it gets”.  That doesn’t mean there is no Hope.  It means your doctor has run out of ideas or they don’t know any alternative treatments available.  We find that patients who don’t respond well on conventional treatment often respond very well on our natural approach.

We help you awaken your body's natural healing system

Despite what you may have been led to believe, your body is not broken, and it is possible to recover from facial paralysis and muscle weakness.  That’s because your body never forgets how to heal itself.  It just needs the right support.  Your body makes its own internal medicines to fix Bell’s Palsy on its own, and our therapies help it do just that.  

A woman get flexibility from acupuncture treatment

We focus on how you FEEL - not just the numbers

While everyone else is looking at pieces of paper with numbers, and not listening to you – WE focus on YOU, your story, and how you feel.  

Are you feeling better with facial movement that felt previously impossible?  Are you feeling more energy?  That is OUR focus.  NOT more expensive unnecessary lab tests.  

A family is happy from acupuncture benefits

Our Approach ALWAYS includes Emotional health

Stress, anxiety, and depression are often key components in Bell’s Palsy.  We do not ignore this, we actually teach you very simple ways to enhance sleep and relaxation which supports your body’s natural healing system so it is much easier for it to resolve the Bell’s Palsy on its own.

“If you are looking for a health care professional / clinician who treats you as a whole, not just a condition, you found the right place Satoru provides the most gentle but detailed treatments.  He is not the type of providers who use hundreds of needles and hope for some work – with his through and comprehensive assessment/re-assessment he really makes sure to put in only as needed.  Highly recommended!!  日本人の方なので日本語での対応もしていただけます。”

“It is hard to find a real specialist, who knows what he is doing. Satoru is one of them.”

Rina Bel

Happy Patient

“I have had back problems and pain for several years. I have generally been able to keep it under control by chiropractic manipulation. As an alternative, I tried acupuncture six years ago. I had excellent results. I went for a few years being okay, and then I had a major issue. After reading and researching to find an acupuncturist in my area, I found and chose Dr. Ozawa. At the start of my treatment, I felt immediate relief. After the first three treatments, I was back to normal. I knew I had made the right decision. He is very professional and knowledgeable. Dr. Ozawa listens and also explains what can be done at home to maintain good health. I will continue to see Dr. Ozawa for routine maintenance.”

A patient review

Suzanne Anderson

Happy Patient

“Satoru was one of the most caring, supportive, and skillful doctors that anyone could ask for. I don’t know what’s to be said about Satoru that won’t be said by anyone else. When you speak to him, you know he’s really listening. When he says things, you know he’s being honest and sincere. I used to suffer from various physical pains because of stress but since I started going to his practice, I immediately felt that my body was changing. Also, I used to have my period irregularly with cramps, but his treatments definitely helped.”

The Process is Simple

Number 1

Free Initial Consultation

At your free initial consultation you’ll meet with your clinician to discuss your care, your medical history, any medications you’re taking, and most importantly YOUR GOAL.  We want to be certain that our program is going to meet your needs and that there is a HUGE probability of success for you 

number 2

Detailed Assessment & Treatment Plan

After your free consultation is complete, and we agree to move forward your next step is the intake appointment.  At this appointment, your clinician will do a detailed assessment of your symptom pattern, medical history, and other factors to determine the root cause of your issue and devise a specific plan.  

Number 3

Active Treatment & Symptom Resolution

You’ll return for weekly or biweekly visits to ensure close support as you begin to feel the positive shifts of the therapy.  We want to make sure your treatment plan is yielding the expected results:  

  • Increased facial sensation
  • Increased muscle movement in the face
  • Decreased facial/neck pain
  • Better energy
  • Decreased stress levels
  • Better sleep

You’ll also receive acupuncture at each visit to ensure that inflammation in the nerves affecting the face are decreasing, nerves are regenerating and your fece muscles are activating. 

Number 4

Traditional Care As Things Stabilize

Once we see stable improvements, we will begin to reduce the frequency of visits.  This usually occurs after about 8-12 visits.  Initially you’ll come every week to every other week.  Then, we will extend to once a month for a couple of visits.  After that, you will no longer need regular treatments.  

Number 5

Taking Care of Your Friends and Loved Ones

We pride ourselves on the fact that 80% of our new patients are referred to us by other patients or people in the community who have witnessed their friends and loved ones receive life-changing benefits from our work.  

So, we very much look forward to helping Your friends, family, and loved ones on their journey to a more joyful, energetic, purposeful life.

Common Questions 

The needles are extremely thin, and they cause no pain from the needles.  

Treatment for Bell’s Palsy is most effective and powerful when done 2-3x/week during the first few weeks of onset.  Most or our patients are able to get great results with twice-weekly visits.  If you have chronic case of Bell’s Palsy (it’s been several months since onset.), sessions are typically only done once a week.  We can discuss this in more detail at your free consultation.

People often feel a shift within the first two weeks and significant results often begin to show after just a few weeks.  

Absolutely.  Your nerves and your body are capable of healing themselves, especially when it has the nutritional support and specialized natural therapies we offer to help it get back on track.  We’ve seen this firsthand in clinic over and over.  

Results vary.  Of course.  That being said, over 75% of our patients report improvement in frequency and severity of symptoms and many are able to reduce and eliminate their medication use.  However, your situation is unique and once we meet with you we will be able to give you our best estimate of time and prognosis of outcome.
