At Cruz Life Center, we have a multi faceted approach to treating Shingles, Laser therapy is our main treatment as it will decrease the amount of inflammation which is the cause of your pain. It also is capable of healing some of the damage caused by the blisters. We also incorporate supplements known to be anti inflammatory and anti viral which will enhance your immune system. Our premise is that the virus only attacks a nerve that is already in a weakened state as well as our immune system being unable to keep it in check. Our protocol involves using the laser to reduce inflammation and as well as heal the tissue. But we also need to strengthen the immune system and correct any spinal imbalance involving the nerves to get the best results. Something that is often missed.

I understand Shingles first hand, I had had it 3 separate times. I only have had one other patient who has had it 3 or more times. The first time, over 30 years ago the eruptions lasted several weeks before finally clearing up and the pain slowly improved. I delayed doing anything because I did not realize it was shingles until the blisters started. This was before we had lasers so I treated myself with high dose vitamin C, to heal the tissues and chiropractic, to heal the nerve. Once you have experienced that pain you will never forget it. The second time I still did not have laser therapy available but I started treatment immediately and the results were much better and faster. The third time I had the laser, and the shingles pain was gone in a matter of days. Dr. Cru

“Want to start off by saying how the staff made me feel very welcome, upon arrival, when I walked in the front door the first thing I saw was “Welcome Treven”, that blew me out of the ball park. Once inside, Sarah was so awesome and so knowledgeable of her job, she greeted me by my first name and I felt such a personal one on one experience. She gave me a tour of the office and that was when she introduced me to Dr. and Mrs. Cruz intimately known as Lesia. They took me inside and sat me down and allowed me to explain to them why I was there. 10 months ago I came down with an excruciating headache that knocked me off my feet, didn’t know what was going on, after 3 days I went to the ER, unfortunately in the Bahamas where I am from, I was not diagnosed immediately and after 9 days of excruciating pain, I was told I had Shingles of the eye unfortunately by that time the damaged had already began neurologically. That’s where my “journey” began. I stayed in the hospital for one week when the doctors told me they had done all they could for me, I was sent home with this problem that changed my entire life. I never knew pain like the pain I had encountered with this disease, I thought it would be easier to just lay down and die. After trying all avenues of Dr.’s visits, medications, treatments, therapies, domestically and internationally, I had given completely up. I went in to a deep dark place where I didn’t want to be associated with anyone so I resorted to much prayer and looking for help that I thought was not there for me. After 9 months I ran across the Cruz Life Center website. I started off by reading the blogs and I realized there was a ray of hope for me and I started researching their techniques of Laser Therapy for pain associated with Shingles. I called their facility and spoke with Sarah who arranged a consultation over the phone with Dr. Cruz and Lesia and they told me that I was a candidate for Laser Treatment. I will say to date, I have received a total of 20 treatments and upon the very first treatment I started feeling relief. I have 4 treatments left and I am beginning to feel like my old self again. I want to thank God first and foremost for directing me to such wonderful, professional and personable people, they make a “GREAT” team together and I must say, Lesia’s hands are magical. I would highly recommend the Cruz Life Center to anyone that is struggling with any ailments or pain.”

“On January 17th I was diagnosed with shingles from the middle of my spine wrapping around to my belly button. Shingles has been the single most painful thing that I have ever experienced. I was unable to work, do my everyday chores, go to church, and play with my grandchildren or drive. Pain was in control of my life and it was devastating. On February 12, I began laser therapy for my shingles. After 6 treatments the shingles were cleared and my pain was gone except for a light sting when the area was touched. After 15 days the pain was completely gone. I recommend laser therapy to every one; don’t wait until the pain takes control of your life. You will be surprise at the results and you will enjoy your visit with the friendly staff.”
