Lyme Disease Treatment

Lyme disease is an increasingly common bacterial infection that is acquired from the bite of an infected black-legged (deer) tick. Most people who become infected with Lyme disease do not recall a tick bite. CDC surveillance case data documents that ~30% of confirmed cases lack a reported rash. Early Lyme disease may present as a “summertime flu,” producing fever, fatigue, muscle or joint pain and headache with or without the EM rash.

Diagnosis is often a clinical diagnosis based on a person’s exposure to ticks, their symptoms, and their physical examination findings. There are people that have tested negative for Lyme and/or co-infections for several years only to find out when they get more accurate testing that they are indeed positive.

People suffering symptoms of Lyme and other tick-borne illnesses now have new options for diagnosis and Lyme Disease treatment.

At NH Integrated Health Care, we provide cutting edge blood testing and individualized treatment plans for both acute and chronic Lyme. Black legged ticks often carry multiple bacteria, viruses and parasites that can be transmitted individually or along with Lyme disease bacteria. Potential infections include babesiosis, anaplasmosis, ehrlichiosis, bartonella, and others. We provide tick borne disease panels and/or co-infection panels.

Lyme disease and tick-borne illnesses are expensive to test and treat and treatment is often out of pocket for many patients. At NH Integrated Health Care, we accept most insurance plans and offer better outcomes through better testing for the pathogens that cause Lyme and a range of tick-borne illnesses. We also do lab testing to assess your overall health, including vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

We provide ongoing care to manage your chronic illness and also offer nutritional therapy, fitness programs and support groups for people that continue to feel the effects of their Lyme disease.
