Auckland Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine – Dr. Win Clinic

Omar is a young famious rugby payer in Warrors in Newzealand,He injuryed his low back when he played with rugby legue final.he had phsiotheruapy ,but still feels more pain on low back,so comeing to my acupuncture clinic for his low back pian.
i check his low back,more pressing pain on left low back ,specially in SJ(L)and left leg longer 2cm than right leg(see the photo)

so i think that his low back pain due to the unbalance of spine, regulating the balance of spine is important.after two sessions treatment, he feels much better,and spine balance is good,the two leg is same long(see below photo).

i gave him acupuncture, regulating spine by hand,cupping.

he feels very well after treatments,so he is happy to have a photo with me and my childred.

omar with my two sons.

hope omar keep good body condition in his rugby life.

Shingles is a disease caused by the varicella-zoster virus – the same virus that causes chickenpox. After you have chickenpox, the virus stays in your body. It may not cause problems for many years. As you get older, the virus may reappear as shingles. Unlike chickenpox, you can’t catch shingles from someone who has it.

Early signs of shingles include burning or shooting pain and tingling or itching, usually on one side of the body or face. The pain can be mild to severe. Blisters then form and last from one to 14 days. If shingles appears on your face, it may affect your vision or hearing. The pain of shingles may last for weeks, months or even years after the blisters have healed.

There is no cure for shingles. Early treatment with medicines that fight the virus may help. These medicines may also help prevent lingering pain. A vaccine may prevent shingles or lessen its effects. The vaccine is for people 60 or over.

Postherpetic neuralgia

Postherpetic neuralgia is pain in the area where a shingles infection once occurred. The pain may last for months or years.

Causes
Postherpetic neuralgia occurs when the nerves have been damaged after an outbreak of shingles. Shingles is caused by the varicella zoster virus, the same virus that causes chickenpox.

Postherpetic neuralgia is more likely to occur in people over age 60.

Symptoms
The main symptom is pain in the area where shingles once occurred. The pain can range from mild to very severe. It lasts for months, sometimes years, after the original shingles infection.

Treatment
Anticonvulsant drugs, usually used for seizures, may help with the pain of damaged nerves. Gabapentin and pregabalin are the ones most commonly used to treat postherpetic neuralgia.

Skin patches with lidocaine (a numbing medicine) may also be prescribed to relieve some of the pain for a period of time.

Pain medications are often needed. Sometimes acetaminophen or NSAIDs such as ibuprofen are enough. Many patients will need stronger, prescription drugs such as codeine, hydrocodone, oxycodone.

Drugs used to treat depression (antidepressants) may also help reduce pain, as well as help with sleep.

Electrical nerve stimulators may be used for severe, long-term cases of postherpetic neuralgia.

Consultation with a pain specialist may be necessary in some cases.

i treated by acupuncture and cupping a patient who had shingles for three months,blinsters on back and chest(right side) disappeared in two weeks ,then the pain on right back and chest still is severe,taking painkiller,no useful,can not sleeping at night, because of the Postherpetic neuralgia .

My clinical experience of treating shoulder pain

By Dr Win Huang

Shoulder pain is a common problem right now, it is only symptom, Shoulder pain involves any pain in or around the shoulder joint. The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the human body. The rotator cuff in the shoulder is made up of four tendons. These tendons give the shoulder a wide range of motion. the tendons pass underneath a rigid bony arch in the shoulder. The most common cause of shoulder pain is when the tendons become trapped under this arch. The compressed tendons become inflamed or damaged. (more…)
