Preventive medicine

Preventive medicine, Kingwood, Texas

Preventive care, as the name suggests, aims to prevent conditions from arising before they become an issue.

Doing so avoids costly treatment and potential ramifications later down the line. Early warning signs of a disease or condition are essential to preventive medicine. Usually done in the form of diagnostic tests and medical exams, the results suggest whether preventive action is needed to stop health risks from becoming real issues.

Health exams

Based on the data gathered via such tests, a healthcare plan will be suggested with the aim to maintain optimal health without further complications.

A typical, preventive physical exam will include the below:

• Evaluating your blood pressure, height and weight, & BMI index
• Checking your ears, eyes, and throat functions
• Listening to your lungs and heart
• Assessing your metabolic functioning, blood sugar levels, cholesterol, and other factors

Book a consultation

Having such preventive exams once a year is advisable, particularly if you have a family history of disease or any pre-existing conditions.
