Long Haul COVID Treatment

Comprehensive Care for Post-COVID Symptoms and Recovery

Long haul COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 (PASC), is a condition in which patients continue to experience symptoms long after their initial COVID-19 infection has resolved. At Dr. Jeri Lynn Otterstrom’s practice in Eugene, OR, we provide integrative and functional medicine care designed to help long haul COVID patients recover more fully and regain their quality of life.

Long haul COVID symptoms can vary widely from patient to patient. Common complaints include persistent fatigue, brain fog, shortness of breath, joint and muscle pain, headaches, heart palpitations, sleep disturbances, anxiety, and difficulty concentrating. These symptoms can significantly interfere with daily activities, work, and overall well-being.

The exact mechanisms behind long haul COVID are still being studied, but research suggests that factors such as ongoing immune dysregulation, mitochondrial dysfunction, microbiome disruption, hormonal imbalances, and autonomic nervous system irregularities all play a role. A thorough functional evaluation is essential to identifying which of these factors are most active in each individual patient.

Dr. Otterstrom takes a comprehensive, whole-body approach to long haul COVID care. Rather than simply managing individual symptoms, our evaluation seeks to understand the underlying physiological disruptions that are preventing the body from fully recovering, and to address them systematically.

Treatment plans for long haul COVID patients may include targeted nutritional supplementation, mitochondrial support protocols, anti-inflammatory dietary strategies, adrenal and hormonal support, gut microbiome restoration, and therapies designed to calm immune dysregulation and support nervous system recovery.

Laboratory testing plays a central role in long haul COVID care at our practice. Comprehensive blood analysis, hormone panels, inflammatory markers, micronutrient assessments, and gut function testing help paint a detailed picture of each patient’s physiology and guide precise, individualized treatment decisions.

Many long haul COVID patients also benefit from mind-body therapies, stress management support, and pacing strategies that help them rebuild energy and stamina without overexerting their still-recovering systems. Recovery is a gradual process, and our team is committed to supporting patients every step of the way.
