There Are Ways To Manage Muscle Aches And Pain From Long COVID Symptoms
For many people, COVID-19 doesn’t just come and go – it can leave them feeling depleted and in pain for weeks or months, sometimes even years after the initial illness.
Unfortunately, around 7.5% of adults in the U.S. who have had COVID-19 experience long COVID symptoms, which include headaches, respiratory issues, joint and muscle pain, chest pain, digestive issues, and neurological problems.
Long COVID is defined as ongoing COVID-19 symptoms for at least three months after first being infected by the virus. If you’re one of the many people suffering from these long-term effects of COVID, then you know how frustrating and debilitating the symptoms can be.

How Can We Help You?
What Causes Pain From Long COVID?
COVID-19 is a virus that can affect the body in various ways. Long COVID symptoms may arise from the virus, leading to issues such as inflammation in organs like the heart and lungs. Even individuals with mild COVID-19 cases can experience long COVID symptoms.
For example, lung inflammation from the virus can cause chest discomfort or difficulty breathing. Muscle aches and pains, known as “myalgia,” are also common and result from muscle inflammation caused by the virus.
The NextPain Care Approach For Long COVID Pain
At NextPain Care, we understand the significant impact that long COVID can have on your life. Our approach is designed to offer evidence-based and minimally invasive treatments that address the unique challenges presented by long COVID.
Here’s how we manage long COVID pain through our comprehensive and patient-centered approach.
Mindfulness and Meditation for Chronic Pain
Mindfulness and meditation can help manage chronic pain, including symptoms of long COVID. These practices may reduce stress, anxiety, and the perception of pain by focusing on the present moment. Examples include breathing exercises, guided imagery, and body scanning. With regular sessions, the goal is to help you experience reduced pain intensity and improved emotional health, offering a non-invasive method to support your well-being.
Nerve blocks are a targeted approach to pain management, used when other methods are not sufficient. This procedure involves injecting medication around specific nerves to block pain signals from reaching the brain. Nerve blocks aim to provide pain relief, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility. At NextPain Care, we use nerve blocks as a less invasive option to address specific pain issues and enhance the overall effectiveness of our treatment plans.
