This shingles case report describes the experience of Sarah, a 55-year-old woman who came to our clinic presenting with a severe case of shingles. She was experiencing excruciating pain and discomfort in her torso on the left side. Shingles, caused by the varicella-zoster virus, had manifested as bright red, painful lesions along her torso, accompanied by debilitating nerve pain. Western treatments, including antiviral medications and painkillers, provided limited relief, leaving her searching for alternative therapies.
Shingles Case Report
Sarah was an avid golfer and had been unable to play for the past three weeks due to the painful lesions on her body. After consulting with her healthcare provider, Sarah opted to explore acupuncture as a complementary treatment. She underwent a series of acupuncture sessions at Raleigh Acupuncture. At our clinic, we have developed a powerful protocol to speed the healing of shingles and to resolve the nerve pain associated with the condition. Treatments are safe, with no adverse side effects. And the results are long-lasting.
In Sarah’s case, the treatments targeted the specific meridians along the affected area of her lesions, as well as systemic points to fight the viral infection, increase blood circulation, and reduce pain. Each session involved the insertion of sterile, single-use, hair-thin needles. Sarah hardly felt the needles, as they are so small. Once they were inserted, she felt immediate relief in the affected areas.
Improvements Right Away
Sarah began experiencing significant improvements following her first acupuncture session. Not only did the intensity of her pain decrease, but the lesions began to heal more rapidly. These improvements enabled her to regain mobility and resume daily activities without constant discomfort.
Over the course of six sessions, Sarah continued her acupuncture sessions as recommended by her practitioner. With each session, her progress became more pronounced, eventually leading to complete relief from both the painful lesions and the lingering neuralgia. By the end of her treatment regimen, Sarah reported feeling rejuvenated and grateful for the transformative effects of acupuncture on her shingles-induced suffering. She was able to return to golf with no pain whatsoever.
Acupuncture Heals Shingles Fast
This shingles case report highlights the potential of acupuncture as a valuable adjunctive therapy for individuals grappling with severe shingles symptoms, offering relief that conventional treatments alone may not provide. Sarah’s experience underscores the importance of exploring integrative approaches to healthcare, particularly in managing complex conditions like shingles, where holistic interventions can make a significant difference in overall well-being.

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.
