Post-herpetic neuralgia (PHN) is a painful condition that can linger after a shingles outbreak. When shingles affects the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve (the nerve responsible for sensation in the upper part of the face, including the forehead and eyes), it can leave behind persistent pain even after the rash heals. The affected nerve may remain hypersensitive, causing burning, stabbing, or throbbing pain. For those suffering from PHN of the ophthalmic division, the discomfort can interfere with daily life. A Breakthrough Treatment: Dry Needling Dr. Priya Rathi, Pune’s leading pain specialist, offers an innovative and non-invasive solution for PHN—ultrasound-guided dry needling. Dry needling is a technique where fine needles are inserted into specific trigger points or sensitive areas under expert guidance. For PHN of the trigeminal nerve’s ophthalmic division, Dr. Rathi uses advanced ultrasound technology to ensure precision and safety. How Does It Work? 1. Targeted Approach: The needles help release muscle tension and stimulate the body's natural pain-relief mechanisms. 2. Enhanced Healing: Dry needling improves blood flow, promotes nerve healing, and reduces inflammation around the affected nerve. 3. Non-Surgical Relief: The procedure is minimally invasive, making it a preferred option for those looking to avoid medications or surgery. Why Choose Dr. Priya Rathi?
