Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for Recovery Support
Understanding Post-Viral Syndromes & Long COVID
Post-viral syndromes describe a pattern of persistent symptoms following viral illness. In the case of COVID-19, these lingering effects are often referred to as Long COVID or Post-Acute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection (PASC). Symptoms may persist for weeks or months and vary widely between individuals.
Common Post-Viral Symptoms
Individuals experiencing post-viral recovery challenges may report:
Persistent fatigue or exercise intolerance
Brain fog or slowed cognition
Shortness of breath
Headaches
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Sleep disturbances
These symptoms may reflect ongoing inflammation, impaired oxygen utilization, or metabolic stress, rather than active infection.
Why Oxygen & Circulation Matter in Post-Viral Recovery
Recovery from viral illness depends on adequate oxygen delivery and cellular energy production. In some individuals, viral illness may contribute to:
- Microvascular dysfunction
- Reduced tissue oxygenation
- Persistent inflammation
- Mitochondrial stress
- Delayed soft tissue or boAutonomic nervous system imbalancene healing
Supporting oxygen availability and circulation may help create an environment that supports recovery physiology.
How Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy May Support Recovery
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy involves breathing 100% oxygen under increased atmospheric pressure, increasing the amount of oxygen dissolved in the blood plasma and available to tissues. As adjunctive support for post-viral recovery, HBOT may help by:
HBOT is used as supportive care only and does not treat viral infection or replace medical management.
