More Than Sick of Salt

NJ Long COVID Recovery Clinic And Center

Why Choose Us

Comprehensive Long Haul COVID Assessment

Our center, located in Sicklerville, New Jersey, is dedicated to assessing the cardiac, neuro, and autonomic system dysfunctions resulting from COVID-19 that persist beyond 12 weeks, leading to Long COVID or long-hauler syndrome.

Unique Long Covid Testing Modalities and Diagnostic Algorithms

We believe that only we have the long covid testing modalities and diagnostic algorithm in the area that can get at the root of the problem and not just treat long covid symptoms. It is our goal to assess the long covid patient holistically and pinpoint which organ systems have been most affected by the post-viral syndrome.

 

Specialized Chronic Long Covid Fatigue Evaluation

Regarding chronic fatigue, which can be a generic issue, we evaluate the overall autonomic function, specifically examining the parasympathetic and sympathetic systems both diagnostically and therapeutically.

 

Effective Long Covid Treatment and Follow-Up Approach

With a targeted approach to clinical diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up, we have empirically found good results in recovery from symptoms caused by Long COVID, such as cough, chronic fatigue, concentration abnormalities, short-term memory deficits, exercise intolerance, gastrointestinal disturbances, urinary disturbances, orthostatic intolerance, balance issues, and neuropathy symptoms including paresthesias, numbness, tingling, and burning.

 

Advanced Remote Monitoring and Testing

We test for small fiber involvement of the nerves that carry the sympathetic and sensory impulses throughout the body affecting cardiac function and, when necessary, pulmonary function. We have methods to monitor some indices remotely with provocation testing with sitting and standing at home using modalities that transmit data to the cloud and then to our computers for follow-up at our treatment center.

 

Innovative Non-Pharmacological Treatments for Long Covid

Our center has also developed progressive exercise programs, stress reduction programs, antioxidant supplement programs, nitric oxide augmentation programs, and other specific targeted non-pharmacological treatments that address inflammatory disorders caused by Long COVID even at the cellular level.

 

Homeopathic and Pharmacological Solutions

We also use pharmacology in low doses when indicated in a homeopathic manner, understanding that more does not necessarily mean better.

 

Root Cause Analysis for Long COVID Symptoms

Our Long COVID Center looks at the root cause of the symptoms of Long COVID or long-hauler syndrome rather than just blindly treating the symptoms without understanding the mechanism of cause and effect.

What We Do

Our Long COVID Recovery Clinic, based in Sicklerville, New Jersey, specializes in providing comprehensive evaluations and treatments for patients experiencing the long-term effects of COVID-19. We focus on chronic fatigue, orthostatic intolerance, and breathlessness using advanced techniques like heart rate variability (HRV) testing, which is cost-effective and non-invasive.

Our services include:

  • Non-invasive Cardiac and Pulmonary Testing: To address breathlessness and assess cardiac and pulmonary function effectively.
  • Symptom Evaluation: For patients with dry eyes, dry mouth, loss of taste, and loss of smell, through appropriate lab testing and referrals.
  • Autonomic Nervous System Assessment: Utilizing various blood and urine tests for oxidative stress, which reflects the damage the virus has caused at the cellular level.
  • Sweat Gland Analysis with Sudomotor Testing: To indicate whether the small fibers are inflamed or deficient, commonly seen in post-viral syndromes. We explore potential treatments using vitamins and pharmacology.

Testimonials

I am a 33-year-old frontline worker who contracted the COVID-19 virus in November 2020. My recovery was taking longer than anticipated, and I was having a very difficult time in completing daily routine tasks. Under the care of Dr. DePace & Franklin Cardiovascular, the proper testing procedures and diagnosis identified my complications were due to the reactivation of Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS). The treatment regimen of medication and antioxidants prescribed by Dr. DePace allowed me to get back to my normal life. I am so grateful for the care I have received and cannot thank Dr. DePace and his team enough for their expertise.

Thank you!
