Family Medicine Q & A

What is included in family medicine?

Family medicine is a specialty focusing on long-term care and building relationships with patients of all ages and their families. Family medicine practitioners are considered specialists whose services integrate biological, clinical, and behavioral sciences to provide comprehensive health care. Some of those services can include:

Annual wellness checks for children, teens, adults, and seniors
Acute care for illnesses and injuries
Immunizations
Chronic pain management
Medically supervised weight loss plans

Even though there may be similarities between family medicine and the other primary care specialties, a family physician can have a greater impact on the health of their patients for their entire lifespan.

Why are immunizations important?

Vaccinations and immunizations are performed early in the developmental years to protect against diseases for which there are often no other medical treatments. Without immunizations, getting such diseases could lead to serious complications and even death. There are also vaccines that are needed before traveling to certain countries to protect against diseases that are localized in some areas of the world.

Immunizations allow the body’s immune system to be better prepared to fight off a disease. Solution Health Specialists offers immunizations to all of their patients. If you’re concerned about whether you or your children are fully immunized, call the office and schedule an appointment.

What are the benefits of annual physicals?

An annual physical helps monitor the general status of a patient’s health. You should have a physical examination at least once a year, especially for those who are over the age of 50. Annual physicals are used to:

Check for signs of diseases to treat them as early as possible
Identify any medical concerns that may cause an issue in the future
Update necessary immunizations
Allow patients to ask any questions they may have
Check cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels
Schedule further screenings based on age/gender

Solution Health Specialists uses the information gathered during annual physicals to discuss and recommend options that can help lower your risk of contracting certain diseases and maintain overall health and wellness.
