Lyme Disease & Tick-Borne Illness Treatment

Lyme & Tick-Borne Care

Comprehensive. Coordinated. Built for the complexity of hidden infections.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimate that roughly 476,000 Americans are diagnosed and treated for Lyme disease each year. A meaningful share of those patients go on to experience persistent symptoms long after their initial treatment ends.

Symptoms span fatigue, joint pain, neurological changes, mood shifts, immune problems, and disrupted sleep. For many patients, these symptoms cross multiple organ systems, involve multiple specialists, and expose gaps in a care system never designed to manage them together.

Celly Health was.

Team-based care for a whole-body condition

Lyme disease and the additional infections that often travel with it are complex by nature. Managing them well takes a coordinated team with the clinical expertise to assess every dimension of the condition — and the infrastructure to deliver on that assessment.

The Stakes Are Real

Patients with chronic Lyme often spend years cycling through specialists before receiving an accurate diagnosis. Many are told their symptoms reflect autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, or a psychiatric condition — when an underlying infection is actually driving the illness. The result is prolonged disability, lost productivity, and significant out-of-pocket cost.

Communities with limited access to specialty care carry this burden disproportionately. The Celly Health model is designed to close that gap, bringing experienced specialist care and coordinated support to every patient — across all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

For Referring Physicians and Care Teams

Celly Health accepts referrals for patients with suspected or confirmed tick-borne illness, lingering symptoms after Lyme treatment, and chronic whole-body symptoms of unclear origin. A dedicated care coordination team manages the transition and keeps referring providers informed with a clear, active care plan.

What is Lyme disease?

Lyme disease is caused by a bacteria called Borrelia, transmitted primarily through tick bites. Many patients never recall a tick bite, and many never develop the well-known bull's-eye rash.

Once Lyme is established in the body, the bacteria can hide from the immune system, settle into tissue, and trigger inflammation that affects multiple systems at once. Standard short-course antibiotics often fall short — particularly when other tick-borne infections are also present, such as Bartonella, Babesia, or Mycoplasma.

Common symptoms

Lasting fatigue, or feeling worse after activity

Joint pain, muscle pain, or aches that move around the body

Brain fog, memory problems, trouble concentrating

Headaches, sensitivity to light or sound

Sleep disturbance and night sweats

Tingling, numbness, or nerve pain

Anxiety, depression, mood changes

Heart palpitations or shortness of breath

Recurring low-grade fevers or flu-like episodes

Where traditional care falls short

Standard Lyme testing relies on a two-step blood test that measures antibodies — the proteins your immune system makes in response to an infection. The challenge is that antibodies are not the infection itself. They are only a signal that your body recognized one.

When the immune system is run down (as often happens in chronic Lyme), antibody levels can be too low to register a positive result. Standard panels also screen for only a limited set of Lyme strains and miss most of the additional tick-borne infections that travel alongside it. The result: patients with active infections are routinely told they don't have Lyme. Lyme requires integrated, adaptive care — because no two cases look alike.

Conditions Lyme frequently mimics

Lyme has been called The Great Imitator for a reason. Patients are often misdiagnosed with:

Autoimmune disease

Including lupus, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome

Labels that explain the pain and fatigue without identifying what's actually causing them.

Neurological and psychiatric conditions

Including depression, anxiety, attention-deficit symptoms, and memory or cognitive changes that can resemble early dementia.

At Celly Health, we evaluate for tick-borne illness whenever the clinical picture warrants it — regardless of any prior diagnosis a patient arrives with.

Our Approach

The root causes we target

01

Hidden infections

Lyme bacteria, plus other tick-borne organisms — Bartonella, Babesia, Mycoplasma, and others — that often hide from conventional testing.

02

Chronic inflammation

Persistent immune activation and tissue-level inflammation that drive ongoing symptoms even after the original infection.

03

Toxin & environmental burden

Mold exposure, mold-related toxins, heavy metals, and environmental chemicals that compound chronic illness and slow recovery.

04

Cellular energy dysfunction

Impairment in the way cells produce energy, which drives fatigue, poor stamina, and slow recovery from exertion.

05

Nervous system imbalance

A nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight mode, contributing to dizziness, blood pressure swings, sleep disruption, and mood changes.

06

Detoxification pathways

Liver, lymphatic, and gut function — the systems the body relies on to clear infection and toxin load.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Lyme care

Why is Lyme disease so often missed?

Standard Lyme testing measures the antibodies your immune system makes against the infection — not the infection itself. A weakened immune response, limited strain coverage, and missed co-infections all contribute to false negatives.

Do I need to remember a tick bite to have Lyme?

No. Many patients with confirmed Lyme never recall a tick bite or a rash. Ticks can be small enough to go unnoticed, and not every infection produces the classic bull's-eye.

Which other tick-borne infections does Celly Health test for?

Most commonly Bartonella, Babesia, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia pneumoniae — with additional organisms screened based on each patient's symptoms and history.

Does Celly Health treat with antibiotics, herbal protocols, or both?

We use whichever approach fits the patient. Some respond best to prescription antibiotics, others to targeted herbal protocols, and many to a combination of the two.

How long does treatment take?

Recovery timelines vary with how long the illness has been present, the infection load, and overall toxin burden. Most patients begin with a structured protocol followed by ongoing monitoring, with treatment adjusted at each milestone.

Is testing reimbursable through insurance?

Most patients participate via cash pay. Celly Health provides clinical documentation to submit to your insurer when applicable.

Can I be seen virtually?

Yes. Celly Health is licensed across all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Most evaluations and follow-ups are completed by virtual health consultations, with lab work coordinated locally.
