Preventive Medicine Q & A
What is preventive medicine?
Preventive medicine is a branch of health care that focuses on preventing diseases before they become a serious problem. Whereas the standard model of medicine treats illnesses, preventive medicine involves care you receive before an illness occurs.
Using concierge medicine, the team at LiveWell Med Solutions provides personalized preventive care to adolescents and adults. Disease prevention is a priority in concierge medicine, so you can expect high-quality health care that enhances your overall quality of life.
What preventive medicine services do I need?
The team at LiveWell Med Solutions customizes your preventive medicine regimen based on various factors, such as your age, sex, and level of risk for diseases. In general, preventive medicine includes services like immunizations and screenings.
Common examples of preventive medicine include:
- Blood pressure testing
- Mental health screening
- Cholesterol testing
- Diabetes screening
- Cancer screenings
- Sexually transmitted disease (STD) screenings
- Annual physical exams
- Routine vaccinations
These simple tests and screenings can help catch health problems early when they’re easiest to treat. Your dedicated provider at LiveWell Med Solutions determines the right tests for you based on your health, lifestyle, and medical history.
Other health care services that may support disease prevention include nutrition advice, weight loss, and IV vitamin therapy.
Can preventive medicine help if I already have a health condition?
Yes! For example, if you have a health condition like high blood pressure, preventive medicine can reduce your risk for complications like heart attack and stroke. In some cases, working with the team at LiveWell Med Solutions may return your blood pressure to normal levels and help you live a longer, more active life.
Another way preventive medicine can help with chronic conditions is to decrease the risk for additional health problems, known as comorbidities, that often occur in people with that condition.
For instance, people with high blood pressure are more likely to develop Type 2 diabetes than those with normal blood pressure. Preventive medicine at LiveWell Med Solutions covers all aspects of your health in order to minimize disease risk factors.
