Lyme disease is often misunderstood, misdiagnosed, and mistreated. At Patients Medical in New York City, we specialize in identifying the root causes of lingering Lyme symptoms and tailoring natural, integrative treatment protocols that go far beyond antibiotics.
Whether you’re in the early stages or battling chronic Lyme, our functional medicine approach uses targeted supplements, detox strategies, and immune support to help your body heal from the inside out.
Lyme disease is a bacterial infection caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted through the bite of infected ticks. While early symptoms often resemble the flu or a rash, Lyme can evolve into a complex, multi-system illness that impacts the nervous system, joints, brain, and immune function—especially when not treated early or fully eradicated.
Many patients also carry additional tick-borne pathogens like:
These co-infections require different treatment strategies.
Lyme is not always cured with one round of antibiotics. Many patients develop Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) or chronic Lyme due to:
Mitochondrial dysfunction and oxidative stress
We go beyond standard testing to uncover the full picture of Lyme and its co-infections:
