You might also benefit from chronic care management if you have a chronic gastrointestinal issue like Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis.
At Generations Family Practice, the team tailors chronic care management to each individual’s needs. Even so, they focus on three specific areas:
Learning you have a chronic illness can be overwhelming. There’s a lot of information to take in, and if you aren’t feeling well, it can be challenging to start a new routine. Your Generations Family Practice provider can educate you on your diagnosis and provide tips, tricks, and recommendations to help you feel better.
Even though chronic illnesses are incurable, it’s possible to minimize their effects by living a healthy lifestyle. To reduce uncomfortable symptoms and improve your quality of life, the team at Generations Family Practice recommends eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, getting plenty of sleep, and managing your stress levels.
Many chronic conditions respond to prescription medication. Following a complete physical exam, a review of your medical history, and a series of laboratory tests, your Generations Family Practice provider can recommend medication that aligns with your needs.
Chronic care management is important because it significantly lowers your risk of potentially serious complications. Visiting the team at Generations Family Practice at least once a year is an easy and effective way to stay on top of your diagnosis and prevent it from getting worse.
