EXPERIENCING POST COVID SYMPTOMS?
Sometimes COVID-19 symptoms can last for months, due to damage caused to lungs, heart, and the brain after first being infected with the virus that caused COVID-19. These conditions are sometimes named “Long COVID” or “Post-COVID-19 Syndrome,” while others refer to themselves as “Long Haulers.” Regardless of the name given, take comfort knowing that help is available. Most people with Post-COVID Syndrome or Long COVID experience the effects of COVID-19 that persist for more than four weeks after being diagnosed with the COVID-19 virus.
Griffin Health Long COVID-19 Therapy provides a compassionate, comprehensive and coordinated approach to treating Long COVID-19 that empowers individuals to manage and significantly improve their symptoms. We’re here to help “COVID-19 Long haulers” safely and confidently overcome symptoms that are affecting their education, work, sleep and favorite activities.
