Long COVID Treatment
For the past few years our physicians at UF Health Integrative Medicine have focused on treating patients suffering from long COVID, otherwise known as “COVID long-haulers”. The medical term for long COVID is Persistent Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 or PASC.
The UF Health COVID RESTORE Treatment Program is one of just a handful of clinics in florida that specilize in treating patients that are still having complications from a past COVID infection.
Integrative Medicine Consultation
What is an Integrative Medicine consultation?
This is an assessment performed by a physician with training and experience in Integrative Medicine. During the consultation, the physician obtains not only a full medical history and performs a physical examination, but also assesses the patient’s emotional, mental and social well-being. A treatment plan is developed in collaboration with the patient. Recommendations may include use of dietary supplements and botanicals, changes in eating and physical activity, mind-body procedures such as meditation, acupuncture and massage, and referrals to practitioners of other healing systems such as Traditional Chinese medicine, Ayurveda (a holistic medicine system from India), or homeopathy.
