Preventive Health Care Q&A

What is preventive health care?

Preventive health care protects your health by avoiding sickness, disease, disability, and death. It allows you to take on a proactive approach so you can maintain your wellness and keep your health at peak performance.

At Premier Health Consultants of Northern Virginia, the team can monitor your health regularly to give you the benefits of preventive care.

How does preventive health care work?

Preventive medicine stays ahead of sickness and disease that could negatively affect your life. Part of your preventive health includes scheduling regular visits with Dr. Namjoshi and her team. When you visit the practice, your overall evaluation might include checking your:

  • Weight
  • Vision
  • Hearing
  • Heart rate
  • Blood pressure
  • Mobility function
  • Organ function
  • Skin
  • Blood glucose levels
  • Cholesterol levels

In addition, you might need immunizations to protect you from health issues, such as the seasonal flu or whooping cough. You want to avoid health problems or identify them quickly so you can treat the root cause before they develop into something more serious. Your annual wellness exams can help identify if you have potential risk for any new health problems.

The team at Premier Health Consultants of Northern Virginia also recommends lifestyle changes that can promote your health as part of your preventive care.

What are the benefits of preventive health care?

The advantages of preventive health care include early intervention if you notice a change in your health or completely avoiding a health issue all together. Regular checkups with Dr. Namjoshi can help identify any differences in your health from one year to the next that might indicate a health concern.

For example, if you start having high blood pressure, treatment and lifestyle changes can begin right away to help strengthen your immune system and control the issue. When you ignore health problems, you increase your chances of developing more serious issues in the future, because they can become much more difficult to treat and cure later.

Preventive health care helps you stay proactive about your wellness, which can give you long-term strong health.
