Suffering from Long Covid?
Recovering from long COVID symptoms might take some time.
At the Idaho Center for Integrative Medicine, we're here to help patients manage and even recover from their long-term symptoms.
Some of the most common long COVID symptoms include:
-
Fatigue
-
Breathing difficulties/shortness of breath
-
Cough
-
Chest Pain
-
Change in smell or taste
-
Depression
-
Joint or muscle pain
-
Menstrual cycle changes
Some experts say persistent symptoms for longer than four weeks post-infection qualify as long COVID, while others require 12 weeks or more of symptoms to diagnose someone as a long hauler. Regardless, you know your body and if things are off. Talking to one of our Functional Medicine doctors can help you determine if you might be suffering from some prolonged effects of covid.
At our clinic, we take into account your entire health history in order to help you get back to normal. Blood work results often help us know where you might be out of balance. Upping the quality and quantity of your sleep and nutrition are also important. While these are integral skills for everyone, a person with long COVID certainly needs to address the basics.
Recent research suggests that a fasting diet might offer medical benefits to some sufferers. This is because decreased energy intake causes mitochondria to produce fewer free radicals as well as cellular renewal and protection from disease. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Additionally, some patients have found that IV fluids give them the boost that they need to feel better. Intravenous Vitamin C or Ozone have many proven benefits for people who need help.
Call us today to help you address long COVID and get back to feeling like you again!

On Friday, February 17th, Idaho Chiropractors introduced legislation that will re-establish the use of micro-nutrient injection therapy, which was removed in an administrative rule change during the 2016 legislative session. The House PASSED this bill on 2/27/17 with a 64-5 majority, so now it goes to the Senate!
On March 9th (Tuesday), Dr. Noah will be testifying before the Senate. You can help us by contacting your Senator BEFORE the hearing.
We very much hope that all of you will support the chiropractors who have been treating patients with this type of therapy for many years, and are working to return this treatment option to their patients.
On February 23rd, following testimony by Dr. Noah Edvalson and several other physicians, the bill was successfully reported out of committee unanimously with a "DO PASS" recommendation...but our work is not complete!
We have learned that allopathic medical groups are sending emails to legislators stating that our bill is an egregious expansion of the chiropractic scope of practice, and that micro-nutrient therapy is ineffective and dangerous. We need your help to countermand these false claims.
Send an email of support or contact your local legislator to show your support for our bill!
