Q If I get treated, can I really go back to how I was before COVID? Please be honest with me.
A Many people recover close to their pre-infection state over time and with proper management, but the speed and extent of recovery vary from person to person. The goal of treatment is to reduce remaining symptoms and speed up recovery, raising you to a condition where you can go about daily life without strain.
Detailed Answer
To be honest, recovery speed and extent in long COVID vary significantly between individuals. Fortunately, a good number of people recover close to their pre-infection state with time and proper management. Treatment aims to speed up that process and reduce remaining fatigue, fogginess, and palpitations, raising you to a condition where you can carry on with daily life without strain. Combined with reasonable activity management, the change tends to be greater and longer-lasting.
Our Korean Medicine Clinic's Perspective
Rather than making exaggerated promises, Dongjedang aims for real change—identifying through pulse diagnosis what remains and what's deficient, then clearing and replenishing it. The key is turning a body that's been squeezing itself dry into one that recovers on its own; once this direction takes hold, recovery tends to last.
