Long-COVID Treatment in Jacksonville FL
Rebuilding resilience and restoring nervous system function after a chronic viral illness
Long-COVID, or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), is a frustrating and often debilitating condition. It’s more than just lingering fatigue; it’s a systemic breakdown that can feel like your body's vital systems are stuck in a cycle of overload and exhaustion. Symptoms like unrelenting fatigue, severe brain fog, dizziness (POTS-like symptoms), chronic pain, anxiety, and sleep disorders dramatically alter your life and leave you searching for answers.
At the Brain Optimization Institute in Jacksonville, FL, we understand that Long-COVID is not a single disease. It’s a cascading failure often involving neuroinflammation, nervous system dysregulation (autonomic dysfunction), mitochondrial damage, and chronic immune activation. Patients are often told their labs are "normal" or that they must simply wait it out. We reject that approach.
We recognize that healing from a chronic illness requires a dynamic, personalized strategy. That’s why we use the BrainOp Reconnection SystemTM—a comprehensive, science-based framework designed to address the neurological, metabolic, and emotional root causes of chronic illness and help your body finally exit survival mode.
Our framework for Long-COVID recovery is built on five essential pillars to help patients find stable ground, rebuild energy, and reclaim their future:
Reconnect your brain and nervous system
Reconnect to your purpose by releasing trauma
Reconnect to foods and environments you love
Reconnect to pain-free movement
Reconnect to the life you want
Long-COVID Symptoms and Challenges We Support
We most often work with Jacksonville and Florida residents struggling with the diverse presentation of Long-COVID, including:
-
Post-Exertional Malaise (PEM)
Extreme fatigue and symptom flare-ups following minimal physical or mental activity.
-
Brain Fog and Cognitive Dysfunction
Difficulty concentrating, memory problems, and slowness in processing information.
-
Autonomic Dysfunction (Dysautonomia/POTS)
Dizziness, heart palpitations, chronic anxiety, and unstable blood pressure.
-
Persistent Headaches and Sensory Issues
Including migraines, tinnitus, and heightened sensitivity to light and sound.
-
Chronic Pain and Inflammation
Myalgia, joint pain, and other systemic inflammatory challenges.
Regardless of your primary symptoms, our care focuses on calming the central nervous system, reducing neuroinflammation, and strategically supporting your body’s energy production and detoxification pathways.
How We Assess Nervous System Dysregulation in Long-COVID
Effective recovery begins with a deep, objective understanding of how the virus has impacted your neurological and metabolic function. We don't rely on guesswork or generic protocols; we look at the way your brain and body communicate in real time to find the specific areas of breakdown.
Our Testing Includes:
Neurological Assessments
Eye movement analysis, vestibular and balance testing, and cognition evaluation to assess neuroinflammation and brain processing speed.
Limbic Brain Testing
Identifying patterns related to emotional dysregulation, anxiety, fear, and chronic stress reactivity common after viral illness.
Laboratory Testing
When needed, we evaluate mitochondrial function, chronic inflammation markers, viral persistence, nutrient status, and gut health.
This whole-body assessment allows us to create a precise map of the underlying dysfunction—moving beyond a simple diagnosis to a clear path for neurological rehabilitation and immune stabilization.
Your Next Step
Long-COVID has dramatically interrupted your life, but it doesn't have to be your defining chapter. At Brain Optimization Institute, we believe your body holds the capacity to heal, especially when provided with targeted, brain-based support.
If you are ready to stop managing symptoms and start addressing the deep neurological and metabolic drivers of your chronic illness, we invite you to take the first step.
