Chronic Disease Management

Chronic disease management is more than just about treating symptoms of a condition. It involves taking a comprehensive and total-health approach to managing symptoms of a long-term disease. It takes into account your total overall health and lifestyle. This not only works to manage symptoms, but it helps to slow down the progression of the disease and enables patients to take back control and enjoy their life once again.

Chronic diseases are conditions that progress over time and typically can’t be cured with medication or a procedure. They can last for many years or a lifetime. Chronic diseases must be managed on a daily basis. Some of the most common chronic diseases and conditions that VIPcare treats include:

• Arthritis and Joint Pain 
• Diabetes
• Heart Disease
• Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD)
• Asthma
• Osteoporosis 
• Kidney Disease

Your provider will take an integrated approach by utilizing check-ups, screenings, and treatments to manage your chronic disease and provide you with relief. They will assess your overall health and what contributing factors could be affecting your condition, such as your lifestyle and environment. Together, you and your provider will create a specialized treatment plan centered around your individual needs and health care goals. Your comprehensive care plan may involve medication management, physical therapy, or seeking care from a specialist.

Chronic disease management can significantly impact your overall life by preventing or minimizing the effects of a disease. It can significantly improve your quality of life as well as reduce hospital visits and additional health care costs.
