Recovering from Long Covid, chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia with Acupuncture & Natural Healthcare in London

The lingering effects of a Covid-19 infection can be incredibly frustrating. Fatigue, brain fog and persistent head and body pain are just some of the symptoms plaguing those with Long Covid. At the Get Well Clinics in London, we have treated several hundred people recovering from Long Covid as well as chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia. Our treatment strategies offer a hopeful path to recovery, focusing on reducing inflammation, supporting organ function and addressing mitochondrial dysfunction through a combination of acupuncture and natural healthcare practices.

Targeting Inflammation and Mitochondrial Dysfunction:

Recent research points to two key areas contributing to Long Covid symptoms:

• Inflammation around the brainstem and meninges: This inflammation may disrupt nerve function and contribute to cognitive issues like brain fog and fatigue.
• Mitochondrial dysfunction: Mitochondria, the cell’s powerhouses, are vital for energy production. Recent studies suggest viral, bacterial and parasitic infections and even antibiotics can cause the symptoms associated with chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and Long Covid, which some belief can lead to mitochondrial exhaustion, impacting energy levels, recovery from mental and physical exertion and general function.

Acupuncture and natural healthcare offer promising solutions:

• Acupuncture:
  • A 2023 study published in Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine found acupuncture effective in reducing inflammatory markers in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome, a condition with some symptom overlap with Long Covid and fibromyalgia.
  • Research suggests acupuncture may also improve mitochondrial function by promoting blood flow and stimulating cellular repair mechanisms.
• Natural healthcare:
  • Dietary modifications: Our team works with you to develop a personalised plan rich in anti-inflammatory foods (and possibly herbs and supplements) that support organ health and potentially improve mitochondrial function.

Pacing for Progress:

Pacing is a crucial aspect of Long Covid recovery. It involves managing activity levels to avoid overexertion and potential setbacks, allowing your body and energy stores to recover.

The Get Well Clinics approach includes:

• Education: Our specialists will provide guidance on pacing techniques and how to gradually increase activity levels safely.
• Stress management: Techniques like mindfulness and meditation can help manage stress, a significant trigger for Long Covid symptoms and potential contributor to mitochondrial dysfunction.

“I’ve been having regular acupuncture from George to treat my long covid and chronic fatigue and it’s helped me enormously. His advice and suggestions are always helpful, the prices are very reasonable and I love the relaxed atmosphere of the multi-bed setting.”

A Personalised Path to Recovery:

At The Get Well Clinics, we understand that chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia and Long Covid affects everyone differently. Our personalised approach combines acupuncture, natural healthcare, pacing strategies, and guidance on addressing potential mitochondrial dysfunction to address your specific needs.

“Discovered this place beginning of this year. I never had acupuncture before, and I am amazed with the effect it has on me, my body and mind. I use mostly Sheree, sometimes George. Both have been super friendly and professional. Both know my body better than I, and thanks to their guidance I feel great. Not only lost weight but gained a lot of more energy and self love. I only had five sessions and already feeling great. I would fully recommend this clinic. Its great value for money as well. I am hugely impressed.”
