Acute and Chronic Conditions

Diabetes mellitus

Diabetes is a condition that happens when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high. It develops when your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or any at all, or when your body isn’t responding to the effects of insulin properly. Diabetes affects people of all ages. Fortunately, diabetes can be effectively managed through medication and lifestyle adjustments. Our healthcare team will work closely with you to design a personalized treatment plan that empowers you to effectively manage your diagnosis.

 Hypertension

High blood pressure occurs when the force of blood against the walls of your arteries remains consistently elevated. Over time, this damages the arteries and can result in severe complications such as heart attacks and strokes. Despite not always presenting visible symptoms, high blood pressure can have a significant impact on your health. Fortunately, there are treatment options available, including lifestyle modifications and medications. Our healthcare team will collaborate closely with you to create a personalized treatment plan that enables you to effectively manage your condition.

 Elevated cholesterol

Hyperlipidemia, also known as high cholesterol, refers to an excessive presence of fats or lipids in your bloodstream. If left unmanaged, hyperlipidemia can lead to severe consequences.  Untreated high cholesterol allows plaque to accumulate within your blood vessels. This condition elevates the risk of heart attack and stroke as it hinders smooth blood flow through the arteries. It is crucial to schedule regular checkups with our healthcare providers and diligently follow their guidance to minimize the effects caused by high cholesterol. By doing so, you can effectively address this condition and safeguard your cardiovascular health.

 Anxiety and Depression

Anxiety disorders belong to the realm of mental health conditions. They can significantly impede one’s daily functioning. Common indications involve sensations of unease, panic, and apprehension, accompanied by physical manifestations like sweating and a fast heartbeat. Effective treatment options encompass medications and cognitive behavioral therapy.

Depression, a mood disorder, instigates an enduring sense of sadness and disinterest in previously enjoyable activities. It can also lead to challenges in cognitive functions, memory, eating, and sleeping. If left untreated, depression may get worse and prolong its impact. However, it is important to note that depression is treatable, often through talk therapy, medication, or a combination of both.

Our healthcare professionals can tailor a personalized treatment plan to suit your individual needs.

 Hypothyroidism

Hypothyroidism is a common condition where the thyroid doesn’t create and release enough thyroid hormone into your bloodstream. This makes your metabolism slow down. Also called underactive thyroid, hypothyroidism can make you feel tired, gain weight and be unable to tolerate cold temperatures. The main treatment for hypothyroidism is hormone replacement therapy.  If you have any of the symptoms of hypothyroidism, you can contact our office to schedule an appointment.
