What are chronic medical conditions?

Chronic medical conditions are health issues that last a year or longer. These types of health conditions require ongoing medical care to manage the condition and prevent further health complications.

To better understand your personal health needs, the team asks detailed questions about your current symptoms and health concerns, past medical history, medications and supplement use, diet, lifestyle, and daily stresses.

The team also does a physical exam and may run health screenings or blood tests to assess current health and to use it as a guide to monitor the effectiveness of treatment.
