ME/CFS & Long-Covid Treatment at NeuroAlign™

Real care. No dismissal. No guessing.

The NeuroAlign Protocol offers a structured, evidence-informed path for people living with Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (ME/CFS) and Long Covid - especially those who’ve been told “all your tests are normal” or that “there’s nothing more to be done.”

We know this story. Many people come to us after years of being ignored, misunderstood, or stuck in a loop of symptoms with no roadmap towards recovery.

At NeuroAlign, we approach things differently. Using a neurologically targeted treatment model, we work to help stabilise energy systems, calm chronic inflammation, reduce symptom flare-ups, and support the brain and body in finding a new baseline.

Our approach is not a ‘brain training’ programme, which we advocate against. We also do not recommend CBT or Graded Exercise Therapy, as these approaches have been shown to be harmful in ME/CFS.

For People Told to “Just Rest and Wait”

Whether you're facing:

  • Persistent exhaustion that sleep doesn't fix

  • Post-exertional malaise (PEM) and activity crashes

  • Brain fog, dysautonomia, and light/sound sensitivity

  • Breathlessness, heart palpitations, or POTS-type symptoms

  • Muscle weakness, unrefreshing sleep, or strange neurological sensations

...The NeuroAlign Protocol offers a structured, gentle, and flexible approach - designed to meet your system where it’s at, and help you move forward without triggering PEM.

No pressure to "push through." No outdated pacing lectures. Just intelligent, responsive care.

Understanding ME/CFS & Long Covid Differently

Both ME/CFS and Long Covid involve multi-system dysfunction, not just fatigue.

We understand these conditions as potentially involving:

  • Neuroinflammation and altered brain signaling

  • Autonomic nervous system dysfunction (dysautonomia)

  • Mitochondrial and metabolic disruption

  • Immune dysregulation and post-viral sequelae

  • Exertion intolerance and poor recovery mechanisms

Because of this, care must be gentle, non-linear, and deeply personalised. We don’t treat symptoms in isolation, we support the terrain that gives rise to them.

How We Treat ME/CFS & Long-Covid

  • We use precise, low-intensity scalp and ear acupuncture for ME/CFS & Long-Covid to help support neurological regulation and calm autonomic overdrive.

    • Scalp acupuncture targets brain regions involved in fatigue, cognition, and post-viral recovery

    • Auricular acupuncture supports vagal nerve tone, breath regulation, and stress recovery

    Treatments are gentle, short, and tailored to avoid triggering post-exertional malaise (PEM) or crashes.

  • Red and near-infrared light therapy (photobiomodulation) can help by promoting cellular healing in a non-invasive way.

    This therapy may help:

    • Improve energy metabolism

    • Reduce systemic inflammation

    • Support brain fog and cognitive recovery

    It’s safe, quiet, and calming - ideal for sensitive systems.

  • Rather than pushing your limits, we work within your current capacity.

    Each session may include:

    • Monitoring of breath, SpO₂, pulse, and fatigue markers

    • Feedback on how your system responds to stress

    • Optional guidance on pacing, nervous system awareness, and post-exertional symptom tracking

    This helps us tailor care to your unique pattern - never generic protocols and never Graded Exercise Therapy.

The Method Behind the Relief

How our clinical model supports recovery from complex chronic illness..

  • We use a modern, neuroscience-informed acupuncture system to stimulate under-functioning brain regions and calm overactivity.

    This supports:

    • Cognitive clarity

    • Sleep-wake balance

    • Nervous system rebalancing

    Unlike traditional acupuncture, this method is mapped to cranial nerve pathways and neurological zones.

  • ME/CFS and Long Covid often reflect a system stuck in survival mode. Through gentle, repeated stimulation of key regulatory centres, we help your nervous system find a new normal.

    This is not “mind over matter.” It’s a gradual retraining of biological responses to reduce flare sensitivity and restore baseline resilience.

  • Both conditions are linked to impaired energy metabolism and lingering immune dysfunction.

    Through integrated techniques (light therapy, breath regulation, nutrition, and acupuncture) we aim to:

    • Lower chronic immune activation

    • Support energy production

    • Promote tissue repair and cognitive improvement

    Everything is designed to be low-stimulation and aligned with your energy envelope.

I honestly thought this was just my life now. Pain, exhaustion, brain fog. I’d seen specialists, tried meds, and was told there was nothing more they could do. After a few sessions at NeuroAlign the pain didn’t control me anymore. I can focus again. I feel like I’m coming back to myself.
