Great place. You always feel very welcome and taken care of. Dr. Weng is amazing. She is very knowledgeable and so are both her daughters who work in the same office.

Had back pain daily. After seeing Vivian for recommended treatment, I am pain free most days. Still seeing her for maintenance.

I was recommended to Wengs and I am so glad I found this place. Really relaxing and healing atmosphere.

Navigating Shingles: Your Questions Answered
Dealing with health issues, regardless of their nature, often leads to a myriad of questions and concerns. Understanding the root causes, the symptoms, and most crucially, the effective treatment options can sometimes feel overwhelming. Recognizing the need for clarity and guidance, we’ve assembled a list of frequently asked questions tailored to address common health conditions for the people of San Diego.
Shingles, clinically known as herpes zoster, is a viral infection characterized by a painful rash that can occur anywhere on the body, but most commonly wraps around the torso in a stripe-like pattern. It’s caused by the varicella-zoster virus, the same virus responsible for chickenpox. If you’ve had chickenpox, the virus can reactivate as shingles later in life, manifesting in nerve tissue near your spinal cord and brain, and then emerging as a rash and painful sensations.

The onset of shingles is often heralded by sensations of burning, numbness, itching, or tingling, followed by a red rash that typically appears a few days later. Pain—often described as a burning or sharp, stabbing sensation—is the most common symptom and can sometimes be severe. Blisters that fill with fluid and then crust over are another key sign. Some individuals may also experience fever, headache, sensitivity to light, and fatigue.

Within the framework of Traditional Chinese Medicine practiced at Weng’s Acupuncture & Herbs Clinic in San Diego, CA, shingles is often linked to a stagnation of Qi or damp-heat in the body. Acupuncture can play a pivotal role in treatment, focusing on specific meridians that correspond with the affected nerve pathways to clear blockages and dampness, promoting a smoother flow of Qi. Herbal formulations are chosen to suit the individual’s condition, aiming to clear the heat, nourish the skin, and boost the immune system. Tui Na massage might also be utilized to promote better circulation in affected regions, helping to dissipate the stagnant energy and offer pain relief.

Embracing Traditional Chinese Medicine for your shingles means opting for a holistic, time-tested approach. Instead of merely targeting symptoms, TCM dives deeper to address the root cause of the ailment. With a combination of acupuncture, herbal remedies, and Tui Na massage, TCM provides a multi-faceted strategy that not only aims for pain and rash relief but also works to balance the body’s internal energies. This integrated approach fosters natural healing, strengthens immunity, and paves the way for long-term well-being.
