Preventative Medicine Winchester TN

Preventative medicine includes all annual wellness exams as well as vaccinations and boosters. This is the prime time for patients to communicate any symptoms or concerns they have related to their health. Those symptoms may lead to further testing, which may be available right in the office. If it requires testing outside of the office, an appropriate referral can be made.

Also available as part of preventative measures is risk factor modification and counseling. Topics that are most commonly discussed include diet, weight loss and tobacco cessation. While these are not always easy topics to talk about for patients, Dr. Eko is committed to putting patient at ease. No patient is rushed through their appointment. Each patient is given the care and attention they deserve, which is especially true as patients are learning to change a particular habit or their overall lifestyle.

Discussions related to weight loss or diet may include diet diaries as well as an exercise plan. Counseling for tobacco cessation may include prescription options or other modification choices. Tobacco is a public health issue and as such, Eko Internal Medicine is committed to helping patients lessen their usage, with the ultimate goal of quitting entirely.

Diagnostic Testing Winchester TN

Eko Internal Medicine provides a number of diagnostic tools and tests, which means less travel time. You can continue to stay right here in Winchester and get all of your testing done. Tests include urinalysis, allergy testing, pulmonary function tests, EKG, echocardiogram, and ultrasound. These tests can help uncover a number of conditions and issues.

Urinalysis can uncover anything from pregnancy to kidney stones or bladder incontinence. Many of the conditions that can be found through urinalysis may not present very strong or painful symptoms to the patient. Urinalysis can find issues before they are uncomfortable for the patient and can even uncover conditions that could cause real issues in the future. Urinalysis is performed as part of a regular yearly wellness exam but is also available during sick visits, if needed. The results are available almost immediately, which means treatments options are available sooner.

Allergy testing can be performed through skin test or blood test. Skin test is an option that provides immediate results while blood tests can take a bit longer but only require one needle poke. Skin tests can be a bit more uncomfortable when the exam is complete, as it often leaves red, itchy bumps for a few hours following the test. Both options are available to patients and can uncover allergies related to anything from food to environmental allergens.

Pulmonary function testing can be performed to discover issues related to the lungs, including issues with overall air flow and air volume. There are a variety of tests available depending on the symptoms presented by the patient.

Exams such as EKG and Echocardiogram are also available to pinpoint any issues with the heart. This might include coronary heart disease, heart defects, heart attacks and more. There are a variety of EKG and Echocardiogram options available, including a stress test which will better determine the impact exercise has on the patient’s heart. This can both showcase issues with the heart but can also help in managing an exercise routine.

Bedside ultrasound is now an option at Eko Internal Medicine, with Dr. Eko having the ability to perform ultrasound right in the office. This can uncover a number of issues during a standard wellness visit, such as extra fluid, gallstones or a variety of other conditions. By offering bedside ultrasound, patients no longer have to withstand lengthy waits to have imaging performed. If Dr. Eko uncovers any issues through bedside ultrasound, further testing can then be scheduled.
