When COVID-19 first came to the attention of the world, nobody could predict what would take place for years, whether in response to in long-term COVID symptoms and issues. Our team at Republic Pain Specialists has learned several ways to help our community with the pain and symptoms they are having, including through the Stellate Ganglion Block to relieve a few prominent long-term COVID symptoms.

Many with parosmia, a condition whereby normal scents smell foul, have searched for relief and found hope in a facility in Bryan.

As more patients are getting and recovering from COVID, we are learning more and more about the symptoms. It is of increasing interest to follow symptoms that linger for weeks and months without knowing a lot about the long-term effects of the virus. Republic Pain Specialists are especially interested in helping patients who are struggling with residual pain and long-lasting issues that our clinic can specifically treat.
