Hi there Crookedsmile:   If you google bell's palsy information site,  you'll see on the left hand side 'Treatment Centers' 
Click on there, scroll down until you get to USA - South.   Hopefully there's a center close enough to Arkansas you'd
be able to travel to.
 
Always good thoughts,  Nancy

There are definitely more than 3 out there!  I go to a woman who was trained by Jackie.  She's at Vanderbilt  in Nashville, TN.  I know that's still a pretty big hike, but sounds like it would be closer to you than the ones you mentioned.   If you want her contact info, let me know.  It's possible that someone in these more remote places might know of someone closer to you.

Good luck.
