Chronic Disease Management

The kind of chronic care you need varies depending on your condition, the problems you experience, your age, and your other health factors. Most people have a regular physical exam alongside a symptom and medication review, but you may also need specific care like a diabetic foot check. Regular testing is also a feature of many patients’ chronic care plans. You might need blood tests every few months to check your cholesterol, blood glucose levels, or thyroid hormone function. And conditions like headaches, back pain, and muscle pain could benefit from osteopathic manipulative techniques.
