Shingles Nerve Pain (PHN)

Leading Care for Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN)

Pain Care Clinic of Idaho is at the forefront of providing effective treatment for Post-Herpetic Neuralgia (PHN), the lingering nerve pain following a shingles outbreak. Our dedicated team employs a comprehensive approach to manage this challenging condition, aiming to reduce pain, improve functionality, and enhance quality of life for those affected by PHN.

Understanding PHN

PHN is a condition characterized by persistent nerve pain in areas where the shingles rash occurred. This pain can be severe and debilitating, lasting for months or even years after the rash has healed. It's caused by nerve damage left by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus responsible for chickenpox and shingles. Our clinic is committed to understanding the complexities of PHN and providing targeted treatments to alleviate this chronic pain.

Our Multimodal Treatment Approach

We utilize a variety of therapies to address PHN, focusing on relieving pain and restoring well-being:

• Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS): A minimally invasive procedure that applies electrical impulses to the affected nerves, helping to reduce pain signals sent to the brain.
• Alpha Stim: This non-invasive therapy uses cranial electrotherapy stimulation to modulate the brain's response to pain, providing relief from the chronic discomfort associated with PHN.

Tailored Treatment Plans

Recognizing that PHN affects everyone differently, we customize each treatment plan to the individual's symptoms, pain levels, and overall health. Our comprehensive plans may also include:

• Topical Agents and Medications: To reduce skin sensitivity and manage pain.
• Physical Therapy: Gentle, targeted exercises to improve mobility and decrease pain intensity.
• Lifestyle and Nutritional Counseling: Advice on diet, activities, and habits that can support healing and pain reduction.
