Title: facial retraining
Post by: Karen on August 25, 2005, 07:35:42 pm

Has anyone ever gone to Jackie Diels for facial retraing after having the 12/7 done?  I had my surgery 18 months ago with facial paralysis after the facial nerve was severed.  I also have numbness on htat side also.  Does anyone have trouble with their face hurting?  any suggestions for relief?  Karen

I highly recommend Jackie.
Email me if you want specifics.
Best for me to chat via phone.
Take care,

   You can go to the website www.bellspalsy.ws          for info on facial issues.      Jackie Diels is a super facial therapist and wrote some of the articles on this  site.       I made one visit to her for the tightness and muscle spasms I had after I got facial movement back.            She is in Madison,WI so you aren't too far from her.       She is super.
her email address is hj.diels@hosp.wisc.edu         Phone no is    608-263-2935      or 608-263-7271
I think she is only in her office Mon-Weds if I remember right.
