CHRONIC CARE Q&A

What is chronic care?

Chronic care refers to the medical management of long-term health conditions. Chronic diseases include any health condition that lasts a year or more and requires ongoing medical care or limits your ability to go about your usual routine.

 

Examples of chronic diseases that benefit from chronic care include:

  • Heart disease
  • Diabetes
  • High cholesterol
  • High blood pressure
  • Arthritis
  • Back pain
  • Neck pain

There’s a strong connection between lifestyle habits and many chronic diseases. Eating a diet high in salt, fat, and sugar, not getting enough exercise, and smoking tobacco products are habits that increase the risk of chronic health problems.

 

If you have a chronic health condition, making lifestyle changes can improve symptoms and may prevent disease-related complications. At Convenient Care Clinic, LLC, Jeremy helps you find more natural ways to manage your health, only using medications as a last resort.

How can chronic care help me take control of my health?

Jeremy takes a holistic approach to chronic care. He practices integrative medicine, using nutrition, exercise, and supplements to help you manage your chronic health problems.

 

Nutrition

Jeremy provides nutrition education, teaching you about food and how it affects your health. He also helps you make small, manageable changes to your diet to improve your nutrition.

Changing your diet may improve your health and reduce your reliance on prescription medications.

 

Exercise

Regular exercise may lower blood pressure, cholesterol levels, and blood sugar. It could also boost mood and help with weight management.

Jeremy can help you create an exercise program that fits your health and lifestyle.

 

Supplements

Nutritional supplements may boost your nutritional health and provide a more natural way to manage chronic disease symptoms.

Jeremy also helps you create a healthy sleep routine and provides tools that help you manage stress.

What can I expect when receiving chronic care?

The specifics of your patient-centered chronic care plan depend on your health issue and goals for treatment. Before making any recommendations, Jeremy conducts a comprehensive history and physical exam. He may also run lab work to evaluate your overall health. 

Jeremy talks to you about his findings, and together, you create a plan that helps you take control of your health. He schedules regular chronic care follow-up visits to help you implement your plan and create the changes that lead to long-term wellness.
