Albany Shingles Therapy 
Painless, fast, reliable, sustained relief
Stop the pain, as soon as tomorrow.
Feel the improvement from the first treatment.
Applying the new, non-pharmacological treatment of Shingles as reported in Practical Pain Management (May 2010).
If you have active Shingles, or suffer with the lingering, searing, stabbing pain of Post Herpetic Neuralgia, we can help. And you can feel relief in as little as one to two days from today.
Albany Shingles Therapy offers a solution. Painless, fast, reliable, sustained relief. We use a unique application of Frequency Specific Microcurrent Therapy to neutralize the viral component and simultaneously reduce the lingering pain.
Albany Shingles Therapy is a special segment of Albany Acupuncture, dedicated to the treatment of Shingles and PHN; I distinguish it from the acupuncture practice, because when I treat Shingles I use techniques that do not require acupuncture needles.
Painless: Microcurrent is a low dose electro-therapy, measured to be less that 100 millionths of an amp; it does not have any sensation (no pulsing, no prickling, no tickling).
Fast: Our patients usually feel less pain and burning within 1-2 treatment hours.
Reliable: The active Shingles virus, herpes zostre, is neutralized in more than 90% of patients. Post Herpetic Neuralgia is a more complicated problem (consisting of lingering viral component and inflammation in the soft tissue surrounding the besieged nerve); it takes longer to resolve, and more than 70% of our patients see sustained improvement.
Sustained: In 3 – 6 treatments, most active Shingles pain is 90% resolved. PHN is a more lingering or returning complication to the original Shingles attack. Unlike Shingles, in which the same virus attacks the same kind of body tissue, PHN affects each individual who suffers with it differently. We treat PHN as well as Shingles; PHN takes a little longer to resolve.
