Long COVID, also known as post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC), is a condition where individuals experience persistent symptoms for weeks or months after recovering from the acute phase of COVID-19. While much focus has been placed on treating the immediate infection, Long COVID requires a holistic approach to address its lingering effects on various body systems. At Patients Medical in New York City, we take a comprehensive, integrative approach to understanding and treating Long COVID by identifying and addressing the root causes of your symptoms—so you can fully recover and regain your health.
We treat the whole person—not just the symptoms.
Long COVID refers to the range of symptoms that persist for weeks or months after a person has recovered from the acute phase of a COVID-19 infection. These lingering symptoms can vary greatly in severity and affect multiple organs and systems in the body, leading to profound disruptions in daily life.
While the exact mechanisms of Long COVID are still being studied, several factors can contribute to the prolonged symptoms associated with this condition. These include:
At Patients Medical, we use advanced diagnostic testing to understand the full scope of your Long COVID symptoms and the factors contributing to your condition. These tests may include:

After 3 months, Michael reported a significant reduction in fatigue and brain fog, and his joint pain was nearly gone.
