Long COVID Defined
Lingering health issues weeks or even months after COVID
Long COVID refers to the condition where people might experience lingering health issues weeks or even months after recovering from the initial phase of a COVID-19 infection.
Unlike the acute illness, long COVID is characterized by a range of persistent symptoms that can disrupt daily life and overall well-being. This condition can affect anyone who has had COVID-19, regardless of the severity of their original case, leaving many searching for answers and solutions.
The symptoms of long COVID vary widely but often include overwhelming fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and joint or muscle pain. Someone with this condition might also experience difficulty concentrating, sleep disturbances, headaches, and even cardiovascular or gastrointestinal issues.
The nature of these symptoms can impact mental and physical health, making it challenging to resume normal activities or focus on work, family, and personal care. Recognizing these symptoms is the first step toward seeking treatment and regaining control over health.
Long COVID is more common than many might think, affecting millions of people worldwide. Studies suggest that a significant number of individuals who contract COVID-19 go on to develop this condition, even those with mild initial symptoms.
Older adults, those with pre-existing health conditions, and people with severe cases of COVID-19 appear to be at higher risk, but long COVID can impact anyone, including those who are young and previously healthy.

Causes of Long COVID
A Combination of Causes
The exact cause of long COVID is still under investigation, but experts believe it could be a combination of factors. These include the lingering effects of inflammation and immune system activation caused by COVID-19, as well as possible ongoing damage to organs and tissues due to the virus.
Additionally, some people might experience post-viral syndrome, where symptoms persist long after the original infection has cleared. This phenomenon is not unique to COVID-19 and can occur after other infections like influenza or mononucleosis.
Regions of the Body Affected by Long COVID
Long COVID can impact various systems in the body, including respiratory, neurological, cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, endocrine, and musculoskeletal.
Symptoms can manifest differently from person to person, and the severity of symptoms can vary over time. For some, it may be primarily fatigue and brain fog, while others might experience more significant respiratory or cardiac issues.
Our Approach to Treating Long COVID
At Shakthi Health and Wellness Center, we offer a comprehensive approach to treating long COVID that addresses the underlying causes of lingering health issues rather than just managing symptoms. By combining conventional, alternative, holistic, and functional medicine practices, we create personalized care plans tailored to each patient's individual needs.
Our integrative approach considers all aspects of health, the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual components, as interconnected parts of a whole. By addressing all aspects of health, we aim to promote healing and lasting wellness for those living with long COVID.
Treatments for Long COVID at Shakthi
Fortunately, there are options to help alleviate symptoms of long COVID and support the body's natural healing processes at Shakthi Health and Wellness.
Long COVID is complex, and no single treatment will work for everyone. Many of the therapies above target inflammation, nervous system dysregulation, immune function, and circulation, which are key areas of dysfunction in long COVID. If considering any of these treatments, it's best to work with a healthcare professional experienced in long COVID recovery.
Shakthi treatment process
How Treatment of Long COVID Works at Shakthi
Starting long COVID treatment at Shakthi Health and Wellness is a three-step process designed to provide personalized care for each patient.
The first step is to contact our team via online form or by calling (301) 703-5067 to schedule an appointment with Dr. Rao. During this initial consultation, our team will discuss your symptoms and medical history in detail, allowing us to gain a thorough understanding of your unique needs.
Next, we will develop an individualized care plan based on your specific health goals and preferences. You can choose from our continuing care services plans, a la carte services offered on a per-appointment basis without needing an initial consultation, or specialty treatments that offer more specialized services like hormone replacement therapy, stellate ganglion block injections, regenerative medicine, or weight loss support.
Once treatment begins, our Shakthi team will continue to monitor and adjust the care plan as needed to ensure the best possible outcomes for each patient's journey towards whole-body health and wellness.
