Understanding Long COVID
Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), refers to a condition where individuals continue to experience persistent symptoms and long-term effects of COVID-19, even after the initial infection has resolved. It can affect people of all ages and health statuses, presenting a wide range of symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, cognitive difficulties, and more. Long COVID poses significant challenges for both patients and healthcare providers, requiring a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach for effective management.
Integrative Approaches to Long COVID
In this grand rounds session, Dr. Meghan Jobson and Dr. Juliet Morgan will delve into the various integrative approaches that can be employed to support individuals with Long COVID. These approaches may include a combination of conventional medicine, complementary therapies, lifestyle modifications, and psychological support.
Nutritional Interventions
Proper nutrition plays a crucial role in supporting overall health and immune function. Our experts will discuss evidence-based dietary strategies that may aid in symptom management and promote recovery in individuals with Long COVID. They will explore the importance of a balanced diet, the role of specific nutrients, and any potential dietary modifications that could be beneficial.
Physical Rehabilitation and Exercise
Long COVID often presents with physical limitations and challenges, making physical rehabilitation an essential component of holistic recovery. Dr. Jobson and Dr. Morgan will discuss the potential benefits of tailored exercise programs, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation techniques targeting the unique needs of individuals with Long COVID.
Psychological Support and Mental Health
Mental well-being is paramount in the journey of Long COVID recovery. Our experts will shed light on the psychological impact of Long COVID, including post-traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. They will discuss integrative approaches such as counseling, cognitive-behavioral therapy, mindfulness, and stress reduction techniques that can help individuals navigate the emotional challenges associated with Long COVID.
Complementary Therapies
In addition to conventional medical approaches, complementary therapies have shown promise in alleviating symptoms and improving overall well-being for individuals with Long COVID.
