A Closer Look at Our Diagnostic Process
At Dr. Groysman’s clinic, we believe that the key to effective treatment lies in understanding the underlying causes of your symptoms. That’s why we’ve developed a comprehensive diagnostic process that dives deep into the root dysfunctions of Long COVID. Here’s how we do it:
Step 1: Patient History & Symptom Mapping
What We Do:
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation of your medical history, including your experience with COVID-19, pre-existing conditions, and current symptoms.
We use detailed questionnaires and one-on-one consultations to map your symptoms, looking for patterns and connections to the four primary causes of Long COVID.
Why It Matters:
A complete understanding of your history provides the foundation for an accurate diagnosis and ensures no detail is overlooked.
Step 2: Advanced Testing
What We Test:
Autonomic Nervous System Function:
Assessing for dysautonomia using tools like heart rate variability (HRV) analysis and tilt table testing.
Mitochondrial Health:
Evaluating energy production at the cellular level through advanced metabolic panels.
Inflammatory Markers:
Measuring cytokines and markers of mast cell activation to uncover hidden inflammation.
Gut Microbiome Balance:
Testing for imbalances in the gut microbiome that contribute to systemic inflammation and dysbiosis.
Why It Matters:
These tests uncover the physiological dysfunctions driving your symptoms, allowing us to target the root causes effectively.
Step 3: Personalized Analysis
What We Do:
Once your history and test results are in, we analyze the data to identify how the four primary causes—dysautonomia, mitochondrial dysfunction, mast cell activation, and gut dysbiosis—are contributing to your condition.
We connect the dots between your symptoms and the underlying mechanisms, creating a clear roadmap for treatment.
Why It Matters:
This personalized approach ensures that no two patients are treated the same, as each case of Long COVID is unique.
Step 4: Tailored Treatment Plan
What We Do: Based on your diagnostic results, we develop a customized treatment plan that may include:
- Stellate Ganglion Block (SGB) to reset the overactive sympathetic nervous system.
- Epipharyngeal Abrasive Therapy (EAT) to reduce chronic inflammation in the vagus nerve region.
- At-Home Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS) protocols to improve autonomic balance.
- Low-Dose Naltrexone (LDN) and targeted supplements to address immune and mitochondrial dysfunction.
- Lifestyle Guidance to support long-term recovery.
Why It Matters:
A tailored plan ensures that every aspect of your condition is addressed, maximizing the likelihood of lasting recovery.
Our Advanced Tools
Heart Rate Variability Analysis: Detects imbalances in the autonomic nervous system.
Cytokine Panels: Pinpoints inflammatory drivers of symptoms.
Microbiome Testing: Identifies gut-related issues impacting systemic health.
Metabolic Testing: Evaluates mitochondrial function and energy production.
Why Choose a Comprehensive Diagnosis?
Most Long COVID approaches focus on masking symptoms. Our process goes deeper, identifying the root causes to provide treatments that truly work.
By understanding the full picture of your health, we can guide you to a recovery plan that’s as unique as your experience.
