Understanding Lyme Disease Symptoms: Comprehensive Care at Soma Health Center LLC
Located at 8975 Guilford Rd #170 in Columbia, Maryland, Soma Health Center LLC specializes in the diagnosis and treatment of Lyme disease, a tick-borne illness that can cause a wide range of symptoms. Lyme disease is often misunderstood and misdiagnosed due to its complex symptomatology, which can mimic many other conditions. At Soma Health Center, we are dedicated to providing accurate diagnoses and effective treatments, helping our patients manage their symptoms and improve their quality of life.
Common Symptoms of Lyme Disease
Lyme disease symptoms can vary widely from person to person, but typically start with a distinctive rash known as erythema migrans, which often appears as a bull’s-eye on the skin. However, not everyone with Lyme disease will develop this rash, making the disease challenging to diagnose based on symptoms alone. Other common symptoms include:
Fatigue: One of the most debilitating symptoms, fatigue can significantly impact daily functioning and quality of life.
Joint Pain: Swelling and pain in the joints can occur, particularly in the knees.
Neurological Problems: Lyme disease can affect the nervous system, causing symptoms such as facial palsy (loss of muscle tone on one or both sides of the face), neuropathy, and meningitis.
Heart Issues: In some cases, Lyme disease can lead to heart problems, including an irregular heartbeat, which can be severe if not treated promptly.
Other Symptoms: Fever, chills, headache, and dizziness are also common, along with various other symptoms that can affect different parts of the body.
Our Approach to Treating Lyme Disease Symptoms
At Soma Health Center LLC, our approach to treating Lyme disease is personalized and comprehensive. We start with a thorough evaluation, including detailed medical history and advanced diagnostic tests, to confirm Lyme disease and assess its impact on your health. Our treatment plans are tailored to the specific symptoms and conditions of each patient and may include:
Antibiotic Therapy: As the standard treatment for Lyme disease, antibiotics are used to combat the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. Our doctors tailor the type, dose, and duration of antibiotics to best suit each patient's condition.
Supportive Therapies: To address symptoms like fatigue and joint pain, we offer supportive therapies such as nutritional counseling, physical therapy, and pain management strategies.
Holistic and Integrative Medicine: Recognizing the complex nature of Lyme disease, we incorporate holistic and integrative medicine practices to support the body’s natural healing processes and address the emotional and psychological effects of long-term illness.
