Preventive Care

Preventive care can involve a number of effective treatment methods, such as:

• Screening for diseases like high blood pressure and diabetes
• A physical exam and an in-depth discussion of symptoms and family and personal medical history
• A range of beneficial testing -- such as blood work, echocardiograms, and cardiac stress testing -- to identify disease risks like high cholesterol and heart problems. 
• Patient education and discussion regarding alcohol use, smoking cessation, and more
• Encouraging a healthy lifestyle, such as stress management, a better sleep schedule, optimal nutrition, and regular appropriate exercise
• Updating vaccinations when necessary 

Some of the most common tests involved in preventive care and wellness visits are STD testing, urine testing, blood work, and X-rays.
