If you're already suffering from an acute problem, don't wait until it becomes chronic to fix it with family medicine in Brandon, FL.

Managing Chronic Conditions in Adults

A chronic condition is a health problem or disease that has long-term or persistent effects lasting more than three months. Symptoms can be debilitating for the person who has a chronic condition because they affect mental, physical, and emotional well-being. For example, if you have chronic hip pain as a result of sciatica, waking up in daily discomfort could lead to pessimistic thoughts, empty moods, and changes in appetite. Chronic pain from a chronic condition can also cause you to experience difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, remembering, or making decisions, and lose interest in previously enjoyed activities. Our doctors assist adults in managing chronic conditions by prescribing the appropriate medication, physical therapy, or mental health counseling based on the cause, severity, and type of condition at hand.

According to research, 60% of adults and about 85% of adults have two or more chronic health conditions. Don't let a chronic ailment control your life.
