The Facts About Chronic Disease

CHRONIC DISEASE EXAMPLES

There are many diseases and conditions that can fall under the umbrella of a “Chronic Disease.” Here are the most common:

CHRONIC CARE MANAGEMENT

The goal of treatment is to reduce symptoms and prevent the disease from worsening. We also focus on strong communication and coordination with local subspecialists and hospitals that provide care. We may use some, or all, of the below tools to ensure you understand every aspect of your disease and the treatments.

Education

The first step in any long-term care plan is ensuring that you understand the details of your condition. Whatever risk factors exist, or circumstances which can lead to a worsening of the conditions we will make sure you have the information you need to start taking your life back. Outside resources can also help, such as Living a Healthy Life with Chronic Conditions, 4th Edition , or the U.S. National Library of Medicine

Lifestyle Adjustments

With most Chronic Diseases there are lifestyle or environmental risk factors which can impact your health. Factors from weight, to diet, to work may be contributing to your condition. We can help you identify these risks and assist you in eliminating them, or finding ways to reduce their impact on your health.

Medication Management

For many Chronic Diseases, medication may be suggested as a treatment option. At TVFM we will use evidence-based guidelines to develop and teach you about medications which can reduce your symptoms and disease risk. These Chronic Diseases, particularly balancing the challenges of multiple diseases are where your TVFM “specialists in what’s common” really shine.

MORE THAN JUST MEDICATION

Although Chronic Diseases cannot be cured like many other medical conditions, they can be kept at bay or put into remission. At TVFM we understand that there are benefits to a total range of treatments not just pill bottles and we are here to help you with that. If you are struggling with weight loss, we can work with you on diet education and tools for success.
