Long COVID & Post-Viral Syndrome

Long COVID can affect nearly every system in the body — and its neurological effects are among the most disabling. Fatigue, brain fog, autonomic dysfunction, dizziness, and exercise intolerance often overlap and interact in ways that require a comprehensive, individualized approach. At Healing Response, we bring together functional nervous system assessment, acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and evidence-informed supportive therapies to help you rebuild function and reclaim your life.

Our Approach

1

Comprehensive functional nervous system assessment to identify autonomic dysfunction, vestibular involvement, oculomotor changes, and cognitive patterns specific to your presentation.

2

Acupuncture for neuroregulation — targeting the autonomic nervous system, reducing neuroinflammation, and supporting cellular energy recovery.

3

Chinese herbal medicine — individualized formulas based on your specific symptom pattern, constitution, and recovery stage.

4

Red and near-infrared light therapy (photobiomodulation) — supporting mitochondrial energy production, reducing oxidative stress, and addressing brain fog and sensory changes.

5

Pacing guidance and energy management — helping you build sustainable activity levels without triggering post-exertional crashes.

6

Nutritional and supplement support — including evidence-informed strategies such as creatine for cellular energy buffering, tailored to your individual needs.

Long COVID is not one condition — it is a constellation of overlapping mechanisms. We assess the full picture: autonomic, neurological, inflammatory, and metabolic. Your care plan is built on objective findings, not assumptions.
