Cold Laser Therapy has an infinite ability to heal. Add Shingles to the list of conditions where Cold Laser Therapy is a universally effective treatment.

In the U.S. alone there are over 1 million people who develop shingles annually and could possibly experience pain for years. Following an outbreak of chicken pox the virus lies dormant within the cells and neural pathways for many years. The virus reactivates under stimulus of stressful conditions, decreased immunity and some medications. A significant percentage will develop a complicated condition called post herpetic neuralgia. Post herpetic neuralgia could lead to severe pain for years.
