Healing Options for Long-Haul COVID
Personalized care plans designed to help you recover from lingering symptoms and regain your energy.
It's been over three years since the COVID-19 pandemic began, yet conventional medicine still remains stumped on how to help patients with long-term symptoms.
Deemed “long-haul COVID”, the pervasive version of the SARS-CoV-2 virus affects nearly 1 in 5 adults who contract COVID, and comes with a laundry list of symptoms. Ranging from debilitating at worst to disruptive at best, these can include (but aren’t limited to): fatigue, cognitive dysfunction, headache, neurological issues, gastrointestinal problems or pain, and loss of taste or smell.
Patients Facing Long-Haul COVID Have Options
Long-Haul COVID
For patients experiencing this serious and unprecedented illness, it can seem that there is no end in sight. Meanwhile, the standard care continues to offer little hope, relying heavily on a routine treatment of antibiotics. Not only has this practice been largely ineffective throughout its implementation, but it also compromises patients’ long-term health, disrupting the gut microbiome and consequentially, the immune system.
Luckily, there ARE other options!
Personalized Treatment for Long-Haul COVID
Functional Medicine for COVID
A holistic treatment philosophy that considers each individual medically, physically, neurologically, and psychologically, rather than treating health problems merely as isolated diseases, functional medicine focuses on getting to the root cause of disease and providing relief from existing symptoms without causing additional damage or side effects. By utilizing a combination of therapies and approaching healing from every possible avenue, functional medicine offers more tools to patients with long-haul COVID and maximizes healing odds. Working closely with each individual on a case-by-case basis to formulate the treatment that will best work for their unique situation.
