WHAT WE TREAT

Chronic Covid Treatment Centre

Everyone who comes to stay at our chronic Covid treatment centre receives an entirely bespoke treatment plan. There is no single cure for long Covid. However, many cutting-edge treatments, such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, intermittent hyperoxia-hypoxia-training (IHHT) and bioresonance treatment, can help relieve your symptoms. We will curate your treatment programme to target the specific issues you are experiencing.

How we treat Long covid

Long Covid occurs when people continue to experience symptoms of Covid-19 and do not fully recover for several weeks or months after the start of their symptoms. The impact is widespread, with lingering physical effects as well as a debilitating emotional and mental toll. The cause of long Covid is still unknown, as is the cure. It affects people of all ages and can occur even in those who have mild initial infections.

What is known about the virus is that it can damage cells, which helps explain symptoms like brain fog and a loss of smell and taste. In addition, damage to blood vessels can lead to heart, lung and brain problems. There are also theories, with inconclusive research, that a Covid-19 infection puts our immune system into overdrive, which attacks both the virus and our cells or that small virus fragments which remain dormant in the body can be reactivated.

It is also clear that Covid-19 virus not only exacerbates existing mental health issues but the stress caused by suffering from infection may contribute to long Covid. The dangerously high levels of stress experienced when infected by the Covid-19 virus combined with the very real fact that the Covid-19 virus impacts our brain functioning leaves us vulnerable to a host of conditions, such as long Covid.

There is no doubt that focusing on restoring your health via holistic treatment methods at a chronic Covid treatment centre can improve your immune functioning and overall well-being. As a result, your body is much more able to fight these challenging symptoms.

We have long-standing expertise in helping clients struggling with compromised immune systems or inflammatory illnesses after viral and bacterial infections. Through our combination of medical, psychological and personal care, we are proud to be the only clinic in the world that addresses co-occurring conditions and every possible root-cause of long Covid. In so doing, we can help you recover in a matter of weeks, rather than years or months.

Up to one-third of Covid-19 survivors report symptoms of long Covid, many of which can be debilitating, impacting every corner of their being from mental health to cellular strength. The severity of symptoms varies, but many have been left unable to perform basic daily activities such as showering, buying groceries and even remembering words. Symptoms may last weeks, months, or even years after the acute infection.

Common symptoms of long Covid include:

Chronic and severe fatigue.
Shortness of breath.
Heart palpitations.
Chest pain or tightness.
Memory and concentration problems (‘brain fog’).
Loss of smell and taste (or unusual changes to them).
Muscle aches.
Persistent or severe headaches.
Symptoms of depression and anxiety.

Researchers have identified hundreds of other symptoms.

Other long Covid symptoms include:

Gastro-intestinal issues such as diarrhoea, nausea, and abdominal pain.
Worsened pre-existing chronic conditions.
Insomnia or non-restorative sleep.
Hearing changes.
Vision changes.
Speech issues.
Hallucinations.
Bladder problems.
Skin issues such as rashes.

bespoke treatment

How we treat long Covid

At Paracelsus Recovery, we understand that long Covid can present a unique and complex set of challenges that vary from person to person. That’s why we don’t follow a pre-defined treatment path. Each patient receives a bespoke treatment plan, carefully designed to meet their specific needs. Your four-week stay will be structured around addressing the physical, emotional, and psychological aspects of long COVID, with each day thoughtfully planned to include a range of therapeutic elements tailored to your recovery.

Our therapies are designed to work in harmony, supporting your healing process from multiple angles and helping you regain your strength, resilience, and overall well-being. See below for more details.

Our approach considers the whole person: mind, body and soul

We do not adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach. Instead, we adapt each programme to each client’s unique set of needs. While our approach prioritises cutting-edge modalities and holistic care, those unique needs ultimately guide our work together.

At Paracelsus Recovery, our 360-degree approach to treating long Covid is centred on biochemical restoration, intensive psychotherapy, and restrengthening the mind-body connection. Central to this approach is extensive testing to identify all areas of ill health and design a treatment plan that can restore your physical, psychological, and cellular health.
