Symptoms and Relief
Many people have experienced or are experiencing symptoms of “long COVID”. The Mayo Clinic explains that the long-term symptoms of the coronavirus impacts 1 in 5 people and may include the following physical ailments:
- fatigue
- fever
- shortness of breath
- cough
- joint and muscle pain
- heart-related symptoms
- digestive issues
- blood clots
- changes in menstrual cycle
- neurological symptoms
The neurological symptoms may include difficulty thinking or concentrating, headache, sleep problems, dizziness, pins-and-needles feeling, loss of smell or taste, depression, and anxiety (Mayo Clinic Staff, 2022).
While there is not yet a comprehensive understanding of why these post-COVID symptoms exist, there are studies being conducted to find alternative solutions. Orendáčová et al. (2022) conducted a pilot study determining the impact of neurofeedback therapy on post-COVID neurological symptoms. This study found a positive correlation between using neurofeedback’s Othmer method to decrease the symptoms of anxiety, fatigue and depression (Orendáčová et al., 2022).
Neurofeedback is a safe and effective way to help target the unwanted, long-term symptoms resulting post-COVID. For more information on scheduling, please visit indyneurofeedback.com.
