We just finished treating a patient who was suffering from shingles. She had come in for neck pain. After the second treatment she called us and complained of a rash on her back and chest. She said it had come up very quickly and was burning and itching severely. We immediately told her to see her doctor because it sounded like shingles. Sure enough, the doctor confirmed our suspicions. This shingles acupuncture case study describes how acupuncture got her better.
The next day she came in for treatment. The rash was very severe. At Raleigh Acupuncture we have developed a powerful treatment for shingles. We gave her this treatment, and by the next day her shingles had improved by 50%. This is a typical response for our shingles treatment. There is no good Western medicine explanation for our superior results, but there is a perfect Chinese medicine explanation.
Acupuncture Shingles Treatment – How It Works
Acupuncture is amazing at clearing toxicity from the skin. While it would take weeks and possibly months for a toxic condition like shingles to clear the skin, acupuncture speeds the healing process exponentially. In addition, acupuncture speeds up the healing of nerve damage, which shingles also causes.
We continued to treat the patient five more times with acupuncture for her shingles. After the third treatment the rash was 95% resolved. There was lingering itching, at about 10% of the original level. That was resolved by the end of the sixth treatment. It was another acupuncture success story.
Her Western doctor was surprised at how quickly the shingles went away. He was expecting to keep her on a battery of heavy medications for months, but she was able to stop them in just two weeks.
The Superior Alternative Treatment
We have been successfully treating and resolving shingles in our practice for years. The most common presentation involves patients having a very painful rash along the nerve path from the front of their torso to the back, at the level of a woman’s bra strap. Acupuncture dramatically speeds up the resolution of the rash, and reduces pain and itching.
Shingles can develop any place on the body. We have treated it on the torso (most common), face, scalp, ear and legs. All cases response well to acupuncture.
How We Understand Shingles
Chinese medicine understands shingles as a condition involving toxic heat, dampness and internal wind lodged inside the body. Acupuncture is used to resolve these imbalances, and in so doing, helps restore the body to its natural state of health.
The shingles treatment is painless, relaxing and effective. After just one session, pain and itching begin to subside. Within three treatments, rashes are significantly reduced. There are no negative side effects with acupuncture.
Shingles Acupuncture Case Study
This case study was typical for us. The patient responded quickly and results were permanent. Before treating her we explained that all needles were sterile, single-use and hair thin. By the end of her first session she realized first hand how relaxing the treatments were.

Final Note
We hope this shingles acupuncture case study encourages you to try acupuncture. Treatments are safe, relaxing and natural. There are no negative side effects. If you have already gone to the doctor and received anti-viral medication and steroids, no problem. Acupuncture works fine while you are on medications. It will speed up your recovery time and get you out of pain faster.
What our Clients are Saying
I got the shingles shot and still got shingles! Anyway, a friend had gotten relief at Raleigh Acupuncture for her shingles, so I tried it. What a huge difference. The first week, before getting acupuncture, my pain levels from the rash were 10 out of 10. As soon as I started my acupuncture, the pain decreased. They had me better within a few weeks. I was thrilled and am very grateful.
My wife had gone through shingles a few years back and had gotten relief from acupuncture. So when I got it, we called the next day and set up an appointment. The docs at Raleigh Acupuncture are now two for two, helping both of us. Thank you!
I developed a terrible case of shingles last year. The rash ran from back to front. It was burning, painful and very itchy. I was beside myself. I had been to Raleigh Acupuncture for knee pain and decided to call to see if they could help. Sure enough, they said come in immediately. I’m so glad that I did. I felt better after the first treatment. I ended up having about half a dozen treatments over the course of two weeks. They completely resolved my shingles. I strongly suggest you try acupuncture for shingles. It works amazingly.
