Shingles
The burning, blistering rash has started to clear, but the deep, nerve-level pain underneath it hasn’t. You’re worried about it becoming permanent. Antivirals treated the virus; they didn’t treat the nerve damage it left behind. There is a different way to support shingles recovery: work directly with the irritated nerve, while it’s still in the recovery window.
Shingles (herpes zoster) reactivates along a nerve pathway, causing a painful, blistering rash, but the virus inflames and can damage the nerve itself, which is what drives pain that outlasts the rash.
The specific dread of chronic nerve pain that can persist for months or years after the rash heals. Sleep lost to burning pain. The frustration of being told to “just wait it out.”
The sooner nerve inflammation is treated, the lower the risk of it becoming a permanent, chronic condition. Antiviral medication addresses the virus; it doesn’t address the nerve damage already underway.
The standard playbook is antiviral medication and pain management during the acute phase, with no proactive treatment of the underlying nerve inflammation that determines whether pain becomes chronic.
This clinic sees shingles patients at two stages: during the acute outbreak, when early nerve treatment may reduce the risk of lasting damage, and after, when chronic nerve pain has already set in. Both get treated directly.
The clinical logic: The acupuncture addresses the amplified pain signaling that can persist after the rash clears. ATP Resonance BioTherapy® supports cellular repair in nerve fibers affected by the virus. O3 ReBoot Therapy® supports circulation to the affected nerve.
Nothing changes with your medications except through your prescriber. Physicians across Broward County send us the shingles cases whose rash cleared but whose nerve pain didn’t, and many patients simply send themselves. Acute shingles should always be evaluated by a physician first, especially near the eye or ear.

There’s no fixed number of visits and no generic timeline. Your treatment frequency, therapy mix, and program length are set at your evaluation and adjusted at every visit based on how you’re actually responding.
How long you’ve had it and how far it’s progressed sets your starting intensity.
Visit frequency steps up or down based on your measured progress at each visit, not a preset week count.
Symptom relief, or a return to the things you miss: we define the finish line with you, not for you.
Candidacy comes first: the evaluation determines whether the program fits your case; cost is discussed in person after that.
Tell us where you are in the course of the outbreak. We evaluate your case, including whether you’re not a candidate.
A plan built around your stage, acute outbreak or lingering nerve pain after. Progress is measured against your day-one baseline, not guessed, and the plan adjusts as you respond.
Calm the burning pain. Protect the nerve. Improve your odds against what follows.
A shirt that’s only a shirt.
An evening that ends because you’re tired, not because it hurts.
Sleep that goes uninterrupted.
Chronic nerve pain after shingles is more likely with age, delayed treatment, and more severe initial outbreaks.
Your initial consultation is $45. Tell us your story, and we’ll evaluate your case.
