Herpetic Neuralgia

Herpetic neuralgia treatment at Dr. Cindy Pain & Regenerative Center

Herpetic Neuralgia (also known as post-herpetic neuralgia) is a chronic nerve pain condition that can develop after a shingles (herpes zoster) infection. It often causes burning, stabbing, or tingling pain along the affected nerves, which can persist for months or even years after the skin lesions heal.

At Dr. Cindy Pain & Regenerative Center in Bali, we specialize in non-surgical pain management and regenerative therapies for herpetic neuralgia. Our goal is to reduce nerve pain, restore comfort, and improve quality of life for patients experiencing this chronic condition.

Common Causes of Herpetic Neuralgia

Herpetic neuralgia occurs due to nerve damage from the varicella-zoster virus. Factors that increase risk include:

• Age (more common in older adults)

• Severe shingles outbreaks

• Delayed treatment of shingles

• Immune system compromise

Understanding the nerve pathways affected is essential to guide effective treatment.
