At Prince Health & Wellness, we tailor our holistic approach to each stage of Lyme disease to provide comprehensive care and recovery.
Early Localized Lyme Disease
This initial stage typically occurs within the first month after a tick bite. The most common sign is the development of a characteristic "bull’s eye" rash around the bite area. Other early symptoms may include fever, fatigue, and joint pain. Prompt treatment at this stage can prevent progression.
Early Disseminated Lyme Disease
If left untreated, Lyme disease can spread to other parts of the body within a few months. This stage often involves more widespread symptoms, including multiple rashes, joint pain, and neurological issues such as facial paralysis or numbness.
Late Persistent Lyme Disease
In this advanced stage, which can develop months or even years after the initial infection, patients may experience chronic symptoms. These can include severe joint pain, persistent fatigue, and complex neurological issues. This stage often requires more intensive treatment to manage and reduce long-term effects.
What is Lyme Disease?
Lyme disease is caused by the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi, transmitted through the bite of an infected deer tick, also known as a black–legged tick. Unlike common wood ticks or dog ticks, these deer ticks carry the bacteria responsible for Lyme disease. The disease was first identified in Lyme, Connecticut, in 1975, following an unusual spike in juvenile rheumatoid arthritis cases. Researchers discovered that these cases were linked to tick bites from infected deer ticks.
Today, Lyme disease is the most rapidly increasing vector–borne illness in the United States, with an alarming rate of new cases. On average, 34 new cases are reported every hour, turning to 882 cases per day and over 25,000 cases per month. Despite this, diagnosing Lyme disease remains challenging.

Traditional tests, such as the Elisa test, often yield false negatives in 35% to 50% of cases, leading many patients to visit multiple doctors over up to two years before receiving a proper diagnosis. At Prince Health & Wellness, we utilize a comprehensive approach to effectively address and manage Lyme disease.

Seeking help from specialists can guarantee that all aspects of the disease are solved effectively, leading to better overall recovery and management.
What are the potential long-term effects of untreated Lyme disease?
If left untreated, Lyme disease can lead to several long-term complications, including chronic joint pain, neurological problems such as memory issues, cognitive dysfunction, and persistent fatigue. Early diagnosis and treatment are necessary to avoid these serious long-term effects and to manage symptoms effectively.
Can Lyme disease be prevented?
Preventing Lyme disease involves taking measures to avoid tick bites, especially in areas where ticks are common. This includes wearing long sleeves, tucking pants into socks, and using tick repellents when spending time outdoors. After spending time in wooded or grassy areas, it’s important to do a thorough tick check and remove any ticks as soon as possible. Prompt removal of a tick may lower the risk of contracting Lyme disease, as the bacteria are usually transmitted after the tick has been attached for 36-48 hours.
