Health Maintenance
Adult Immunizations
There are a variety of vaccinations that are recommended by the Center of Disease Control and Prevention for adults. Dr. Ward provides all recommended vaccinations along with influenza vaccines and the Shingles vaccine.
Cholesterol Maintenance
Those who suffer from high cholesterol are advised to adapt to a healthier diet and to exercise regularly. In some cases, medication may also be prescribed by Dr. Ward.
Diabetes Maintenance
Prevention of type 2 diabetes is the best way to handle the disease, however, those who already have the disease must monitor blood sugar levels to prevent hypoglycemia episodes.
Hypertension Maintenance
High blood pressure is a dangerous disease because it can lead to stroke, heart attack, and kidney disease. Dr. Ward will likely encourage healthy lifestyle changes and may also proscribe medication.
Thyroid Maintenance
Some people may feel tired and weak due to a thyroid disorder where the thyroid produces too much or too little of the thyroid hormone. Dr. Ward can identify and manage this condition.
