Receiving the diagnosis of a tick-borne disease can be frightening, and many patients find that their symptoms persist even after the standard course of antibiotic treatment. If you’ve found your life upturned by chronic Lyme disease, Today’s Headache Institute is here to help. We are committed to helping our patients improve their way of life and manage their symptoms through natural and holistic alternative Lyme treatments.
What is Lyme Disease?
Every year, according to the CDC, over 500,000 people in the United States are diagnosed with tick-borne diseases, the most common being Lyme disease. Lyme disease is a tick-borne bacterial infection caused by several species of spiral-shaped bacteria from the group Borrelia, and can be difficult to detect and diagnose.
This tick-borne disease can often cause a multitude of pain and health symptoms, including:
-
Migraines/Headaches/TMJ/Jaw pain
-
Facial drooping (Bell’s palsy)
-
Necrosis of jawbone after extractions (NICO)
-
Poor healing after dental procedures
-
Fatigue
-
Joint pain and swelling
-
Cognitive difficulty
-
Depression
-
Sleep disturbances
-
Heart palpitations and/or heart damage
-
Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet
-
Brain fog, confusion, memory problems
-
And more
Most people are infected by immature ticks, called nymphs, which are very small (only about 2mm in size) and therefore less likely to be discovered and quickly removed. The longer an infected tick is attached to the skin, the higher the chances are of transmitting the disease. An infected tick must be attached for 36 to 48 hours or more before the Lyme disease bacterium can be transmitted.
Our Alternative Lyme Disease Treatments
How long have you been tolerating the symptoms of Lyme disease? Our alternative Lyme treatments are highly effective for patients with late-stage or chronic Lyme, as well as those who have just recently been diagnosed. When it comes to tick-borne diseases, the critical aspect of any treatment program relies on proper diagnosis of all pathogens involved. Once we identify which pathogens are present, we begin treatment.
Every patient is different. That is why, at Today’s Headache Institute, we tailor every treatment to each individual patient and their needs. We currently support DesBio Lyme SSR Detox protocols along with Rife Therapies, which are effective for any age group, and success rates can be very high with patient compliance. These alternative regimens can be provided in conjunction with antibiotics by many practitioners, but are often used as primary treatment.
