OUR CHIROPRACTORS AT CHIROPRACTIC PARTNERS
PROVIDE PAIN RELIEF FOR BACK & NECK PAIN, HEADACHES, SCIATICA, INJURIES AND MORE!
By now, you have probably heard of the threat shingles poses to anyone who has ever had chickenpox. Once a patient has had chickenpox, the varicella-zoster virus lies dormant in the nerve tissue near the brain and spinal cord. For one in three adults, the virus reactivates in the form of shingles. While not life-threatening, it can be very painful. Fortunately, Chiropractic Partners can help residents of the NC triangle area with a speedy recovery and reduction in pain levels. Read on to find out how.
Once a patient has beaten chickenpox, the varicella-zoster virus lies dormant in the spinal column. As a result, even the slightest spinal misalignment can cause an outbreak of shingles. A painful, itchy rash develops around the patient’s torso, back, and face.
Through spinal manipulation, our chiropractors in the Raleigh, Durham, Cary and surrounding areas can help relieve the nerve pressure triggering the shingles, shortening the outbreak and weakening the symptoms. Because spinal manipulation improves communication between the brain and the rest of the body, the nervous system’s performance is enhanced. As a result, the body’s immune system is boosted, helping the patient fight off future shingles outbreaks.
Chiropractic care from our team at Chiropractic Partners creates balance, boosting the immune system and helping the body fight off infection. The foods and drinks we consume play a critical role in maintaining that balance. For many shingles patients, consuming foods high in lysine creates an unfavorable environment for the virus, helping to weaken symptoms and ward off outbreaks. Since every patient is different, we may recommend nutritional guidance with one of our health and wellness experts.
The staff at Chiropractic Partners are dedicated to enhancing our patients’ quality of life and overall health. We treat a variety of conditions and diseases, including shingles, chronic pain, and sports and work-related injuries.
