What Is Long COVID?

Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), is a chronic condition that can emerge weeks or even months after recovering from the initial COVID-19 illness. While anyone who has had COVID-19 can develop Long COVID, the severity, symptoms, and duration of the condition vary widely from person to person.

Common Symptoms of Long COVID

Individuals with Long COVID may experience a range of symptoms, including but not limited to:

• Severe Fatigue: A persistent lack of energy that makes even simple tasks feel overwhelming.
• Chronic Pain: Muscle aches and joint pain that may not have a clear cause.  
• Respiratory Challenges: Issues like shortness of breath or a persistent cough.  
• Neurological Symptoms: Headaches, brain fog, and difficulty concentrating.  
• Dysautonomia: Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, causing symptoms like irregular heart rate, dizziness, or fainting.

These symptoms can compromise a person’s ability to work, socialize, and maintain independence. Notably, the duration of Long COVID can last several months, with some individuals experiencing symptoms for over a year.

How Chiropractic Care Can Help Manage Long COVID Symptoms

At Motus Integrative Health, we believe in taking a whole-person approach to care. Chiropractic treatments can play a supportive role in managing several symptoms associated with Long COVID, helping individuals feel more comfortable and energetic as they go through their day-to-day lives.

Addressing Fatigue and Pain

Chronic pain and fatigue are challenging symptoms of Long COVID, often resulting from inflammation and musculoskeletal imbalances. Our chiropractic adjustments aim to promote proper alignment of the spine and joints, which can reduce tension and improve overall mobility. Restoring balance to the body can alleviate physical discomfort, allowing you to feel more at ease in your movements.

Enhancing Nervous System Function

The nervous system is essential for regulating vital functions, many of which can be affected by Long COVID. Chiropractic care centers on the spine and its vital connection to the nervous system, helping to improve communication between the brain and the body. This improved nervous system function may help regulate breathing, heart rate, and other systems affected by dysautonomia.

Reducing Stress and Promoting Relaxation

Long COVID symptoms can lead to emotional stress and affect mental well-being. Chiropractic adjustments often provide a calming effect on the body, helping reduce physical and mental tension. Sessions at Motus Integrative Health are designed to leave you feeling relaxed and supported.

Holistic Care for Better Health

Our team not only focuses on spinal health but also offers guidance on lifestyle changes, such as gentle physical activity, proper ergonomics, and balanced nutrition, that can complement chiropractic care and further support your recovery.
