The exact mechanisms underlying Long COVID, and the treatment options are still being actively researched.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Several contributing factors play a role in the emergence of Long COVID after recovering from a SARS-CoV-2 infection. A significant portion of these factors can be traced back to the persistent inflammatory effects of the Spike Protein, which can endure long after the initial recovery from the illness itself.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">COVID-19 imposes substantial stress on the body, further exacerbating the situation. It is known to tighten blood vessels, hindering the oxygenation of tissues and increasing the risk of clot formation, which can lead to subsequent

Currently, therapies focus on addressing individual symptoms. For instance, Respiratory Physiotherapy may be recommended for shortness of breath or loss of taste\/smell. In cases of asthenia, amino acid and vitamin supplements are often prescribed. If depression is prolonged, antidepressant medication might be advised. Each treatment is tailored to alleviate specific symptoms of Long-Covid.<\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #ca1517;\">How Can Acupuncture Help?<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ca1517;\">Long COVID Fatigue Symptoms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Regular, weekly, or biweekly acupuncture is often recommended as an initial therapy for Long COVID patients.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Given the similarities between Long-Covid symptoms and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), and with studies from China and South Korea suggesting acupuncture&#8217;s effectiveness in CFS, acupuncture is emerging as a potential treatment for Long-Covid.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This recommendation is supported by several studies conducted in China and South Korea that have investigated the impact of acupuncture on Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). The largest review on acupuncture for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) analyzed ten systematic reviews and meta-analyses. It concluded that acupuncture is generally safe and effective for treating CFS.

It works by regulating the flow of Qi (vital energy) along specific pathways or meridians in the body, addressing imbalances and deficiencies that lead to disease.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This ancient Chinese practice has been shown to effectively treat a wide range of conditions, including neurological, musculoskeletal, digestive, respiratory, and emotional issues like insomnia, depression, and anxiety.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #ca1517;\">Long COVID Psychological Symptoms<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Additionally, a study has demonstrated that acupuncture <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/16565594\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stimulates the release of serotonin<\/a>, a neurotransmitter that plays a key role in mood regulation, thus potentially aiding in the management of anxiety, depression, and insomnia.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">By tapping into the body&#8217;s energy and applying pressure to specific points, acupuncture facilitates the optimal flow of Qi, enhancing both physical and mental well-being\u200b\u200b\u200b\u200b.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-fullwidth fullwidth-box fusion-builder-row-3 fusion-flex-container hundred-percent-fullwidth non-hundred-percent-height-scrolling\" style=\"--awb-background-position:left top;--awb-border-sizes-top:0px;--awb-border-sizes-bottom:0px;--awb-border-sizes-left:0px;--awb-border-sizes-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-left:0px;--awb-border-radius-top-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-right:0px;--awb-border-radius-bottom-left:0px;--awb-padding-top:20px;--awb-padding-bottom:20px;--awb-flex-wrap:wrap;\" ><div class=\"fusion-builder-row fusion-row fusion-flex-align-items-flex-start fusion-flex-content-wrap\" style=\"width:104% !important;max-width:104% !important;margin-left: calc(-4% \/ 2 );margin-right: calc(-4% \/ 2 );\"><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-4 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:20px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-5\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medelit.com\/uk\/portfolio-items\/long-covid-acupuncture\/attachment\/shutterstock-agopuntura_307289516\/\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-7393\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload size-full wp-image-7393 aligncenter\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D%27http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg%27%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%27667%27%20viewBox%3D%270%200%201000%20667%27%3E%3Crect%20width%3D%271000%27%20height%3D%27667%27%20fill-opacity%3D%220%22%2F%3E%3C%2Fsvg%3E\" data-orig-src=\"https:\/\/www.medelit.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/shutterstock-AGOPUNTURA_307289516.webp\" alt=\"long covid acupuncture\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-5 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-flex-column\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;--awb-width-large:50%;--awb-margin-top-large:0px;--awb-spacing-right-large:3.84%;--awb-margin-bottom-large:20px;--awb-spacing-left-large:3.84%;--awb-width-medium:50%;--awb-spacing-right-medium:3.84%;--awb-spacing-left-medium:3.84%;--awb-width-small:100%;--awb-spacing-right-small:1.92%;--awb-spacing-left-small:1.92%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-flex-justify-content-flex-start fusion-content-layout-column\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-6\"><h3><span style=\"color: #ca1517;\">Long COVID Stomach Issues<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Acupuncture, as a traditional Chinese medicine technique, has been shown to offer significant benefits for various health conditions, including gastrointestinal diseases and dyspnea.
