Post-Herpetic Neuralgia in Monroeville
By now, we are all aware that if we had chickenpox, we are at a higher risk of developing shingles. Shingles is a viral infection that causes a painful rash to develop, typically appearing as a stripe of blisters on the body’s trunk. Unfortunately, the pain caused by this condition can persist even after the rash is gone. It is called post-herpetic neuralgia.
What Can Cause Post-Herpetic Neuralgia?
Patients often feel intense sensations of tingling, burning, and shooting pain that does not let up with this condition. It can last up to 3 months or longer, and the affected area is sensitive to the touch, so much so that many people have trouble wearing clothes. Unfortunately, there is no known cure, but Post-herpetic Neuralgia can be treated to help ease the pain and improve the symptoms.

What Our Patients Are Saying
Read our patients share their experiences and find out why we are the top-rated neuropathy relief center in the Monroeville area.
I have been to many chiropractors over the years, but Dr Shultz has techniques I have never experienced. I have neuropathy from cancer treatment that causes numbness in my legs and feet. I have extreme weakness that causes falls, and makes climbing stairs difficult. Since I’ve started treatment I have started noticing the feeling coming back in my feet, and my ability to walk has become easier. I still have a long way to go, but I’m confident that this treatment is effective. The staff is also top notch, and makes it a comfortable and enjoyable experience.
I have been going to see Dr Schultz at Pittsburgh East Health Center for several months now, and I have received Excellent Care. Everyone Is Friendly and Pleasant . I Would Highly Recommend Pittsburgh East Health Center.
Pittsburgh E. Health Center has helped me through a very difficult time in my life with my back. When I thought nothing could be done they gave me hope. The treatments have been very successful I am very happy with my progress and with how everything has been handled. They are very professional but most of all very caring about the individual and my well-being. I highly recommend them to everyone. They actually make it pleasant to go for therapy
