At The Functional MDs, our board-certified physicians provide structured, evidence-informed care for patients experiencing persistent symptoms, co-infections, and immune disruption following tick exposure.
Lyme disease and other tick-borne illnesses can trigger ongoing symptoms even after initial exposure or treatment. At The Functional MDs, our approach focuses on evaluating the underlying contributors driving persistent inflammation, neurological symptoms, and immune system dysfunction.
Using advanced functional testing, our physicians assess factors such as immune response patterns, neurological involvement, inflammatory markers, and possible co-infections. Care is individualized and designed to support the body’s recovery processes while addressing lingering symptom patterns.
Many of our patients have a history of tick exposure, or symptoms consistent with persistent infection, but haven’t gotten clear answers or sustained improvement.
Some were treated for Lyme disease with short courses of antibiotics, yet symptoms returned or evolved. Others have unexplained fatigue, joint pain, neurological symptoms, or immune dysfunction, and suspect an underlying tick-borne illness that hasn’t been fully investigated.
They may have been told "there’s nothing left to treat," or “your labs are negative.” We approach these cases differently; by evaluating the full timeline, immune terrain, and possible co-infections with the depth they deserve.
Symptoms related to Lyme disease and tick-borne illness can vary widely and may persist or evolve over time. Many patients seek care when symptoms remain unresolved or begin affecting daily function.
We don’t follow pre-set Lyme protocols or chase every co-infection on a lab report. Instead, we evaluate immune patterns, system burden, and patient tolerance, then build a structured, physician-directed plan based on clinical insight and strategy.
Our process begins with a deep intake, symptom timeline, exposure history, and targeted testing when appropriate. From there, care is delivered in carefully sequenced phases, built around immune recovery, not just antimicrobial pressure.
Your plan may include:
This is not a one-path process. It’s a stepwise strategy, guided by real-time physiology, not protocol templates.
Your care begins with an in-depth consultation and targeted diagnostic testing. Once results are reviewed, your physician develops a phased plan focused on supporting immune balance, reducing inflammation, and improving neurological function. Patients commonly report:
