Recovery after COVID-19 with acupuncture

1. Home
2. Current affairs

Many people continue to experience symptoms for a long time after recovering from a COVID-19 infection. Even if the infection itself was accompanied by few acute symptoms, the aftermath can be prolonged. People experience respiratory symptoms, recurring fevers, chills, and (muscle) pain. Loss of smell can persist for a long time. Patients complain of gastrointestinal symptoms (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea), ear and throat pain, and coughing. Persistent fatigue, loss of strength, and concentration and memory problems make it difficult to pick up the pieces. And this occurs in both young and old, without distinction.

Not unique
Such a pattern, chronic fatigue and persistent complaints after a viral infection, is not unique. It is known as post-viral syndrome, a rather elusive phenomenon, with many different manifestations, and for which there is no pill. The body must find strength somewhere to work out the remnants of being sick. But how?

Acupuncture, especially for you
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is strong in assessing individual symptoms and grouping them together like pieces of a puzzle. Based on this, the acupuncturist determines what disruptions exist and which organ systems need support. This determines the treatment, with acupuncture, moxibustion, herbs, exercise, and lifestyle advice. All very precisely tailored to your complaints, your body, your energy. This enables your body to find the strength to definitively eliminate the disease. And you regain your energy to climb out of the valley.
