For example, walk for 5 or 10 minutes every day. Or increase your number of steps by 300 to 500 each day. After you've made walking a habit, set a longer-term goal. You may want to set a goal of walking briskly for at least 30 minutes a day or work up to 10,000 steps a day. You can try to do this 5 days a week or more. You can use a phone app or wear a pedometer to track your steps each day. To stay motivated, find a walking partner, such as a family member, friend, or coworker.

Facial numbness in itself would usually be traced back to the trigeminal nerve and that nerve alone.
