Find Relief from Long Covid with Our Integrated Approach
Understanding Long Covid
Long Covid, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), can result in a range of persistent symptoms long after the initial infection has resolved. These symptoms often include chronic fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, and autonomic dysfunction, which can affect the body’s ability to regulate essential functions like heart rate and blood pressure. This condition is characterised by ongoing inflammation and dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system, leading to a prolonged recovery process.
Common Symptoms of Long Covid Include:
Chronic Fatigue: Persistent exhaustion that does not improve with rest.
Brain Fog: Difficulty concentrating, memory lapses, and cognitive dysfunction.
Shortness of Breath: Ongoing respiratory issues and reduced lung function.
Dysautonomia: Irregularities in heart rate, blood pressure, and temperature regulation.
Muscle and Joint Pain: Persistent discomfort in muscles and joints.
Sleep Disturbances: Insomnia or difficulty staying asleep.
These symptoms can vary in intensity and duration, affecting the quality of life and overall well-being of patients.
Our Unique Approach to Long Covid Recovery
Combining Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Functional Neurological Rehabilitation
At Neuro Care, we provide a holistic treatment strategy tailored to address both the symptoms and the underlying causes of Long Covid. Our approach integrates Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Functional Neurological Rehabilitation to promote a comprehensive recovery and restore health.
-
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)
Long Covid often results in ongoing inflammation and oxygen deprivation in affected tissues, exacerbating symptoms. HBOT involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurised chamber, which significantly increases oxygen levels in the bloodstream, providing multiple benefits for recovery:
Reducing Inflammation: Enhanced oxygen delivery helps diminish systemic inflammation, a key factor contributing to Long Covid symptoms.
Promoting Tissue Repair: By improving oxygenation, HBOT supports the healing of damaged tissues, including those affected by respiratory issues and other systemic effects of the virus.
Supporting Neurological Function: HBOT encourages neuroplasticity, helping to rebuild cognitive abilities impacted by Long Covid, such as memory, concentration, and problem-solving skills.
-
Neuro Care - Functional Neurological Rehabilitation
Long Covid can disrupt normal neurological functions, affecting cognitive performance, autonomic regulation, and physical stamina. Our Functional Neurological Rehabilitation programme focuses on:
Enhancing Neuroplasticity: Specific exercises are designed to rewire and reorganise neural pathways, helping to recover cognitive functions impaired by the virus.
Improving Autonomic Balance: Targeted therapies aim to stabilise heart rate, blood pressure, and other autonomic functions, which are often dysregulated in Long Covid patients.
Boosting Physical and Cognitive Endurance: Our rehabilitation exercises are personalised to enhance overall stamina, cognitive clarity, and resilience against fatigue.
Why This Combined Approach Works
By combining HBOT and Functional Neurological Rehabilitation, we offer a multidimensional treatment strategy that addresses both the visible symptoms and the underlying physiological disturbances caused by Long Covid. This dual approach accelerates recovery, reduces the risk of long-term complications, and provides patients with a more comprehensive path to wellness.
