How acupuncture from your doctors in Selma, TX, can help relieve symptoms of long COVID
If you have had COVID and still have symptoms, you may have a condition known as long COVID. Traditional medicine has not found an effective treatment to date to relieve the symptoms of long COVID. Alternative medicine may have the answer–acupuncture.
Drs. Anthony and Gloria Wright at Total Health Primary Care in Selma, TX, provide a wide range of internal and alternative medicine services, including acupuncture to treat long COVID symptoms.
Acupuncture dates back over 3,000 years and has been used to treat a wide variety of medical conditions. It works by stimulating your body’s natural energy centers, improving circulation, and promoting your body to heal itself naturally.
Now, acupuncture is demonstrating effectiveness to treat long COVID symptoms. In a study published in the medical journal Medical Acupuncture, a 50-year-old female patient with long COVID was treated using a combination of acupuncture and physiotherapy.
The patient’s symptoms were still present 8 months after being diagnosed with COVID. Her symptoms included:
- Fatigue
- Loss of smell
- Chest tightness
- Palpitations
- A dry cough
- Brain fog
She received acupuncture treatment to her ear, head, and body for the first week, after which physiotherapy was added for 6 sessions of 30 minutes.
After 7 sessions of combined acupuncture and physiotherapy, she fully recovered and reported:
- Increased energy after 2 treatments
- Smell improved after 3 treatments
- Coughing was reduced after 4 treatments
- Brain fog was reduced after 5 treatments
- She could resume heavy gardening after 6 treatments
- She had fully recovered after 7 treatments
Dr. Anthony Wright has developed a treatment protocol for long COVID, to relieve symptoms, and help you regain optimal health. The protocol combines acupuncture and physiotherapy to give you and your body the rejuvenating benefits you need after battling long COVID.
