How preventive care from your health care providers in Trophy Club, TX, can help you stay healthy

Prevention is the key to staying healthy. It’s never a good idea to wait until you are sick before you seek out medical care. The truth is, preventive care can help you stay out of the emergency room and the hospital.

Drs. David Yi, Dr. April Enard, Dr. Paula Lansford Seabaugh, and PA Carol Addy PAC at Trophy Club Family Medicine in Trophy Club, TX, provide comprehensive medical care, including preventive care, to help you stay healthy.

Preventive care includes routine medical visits at least once each year. These routine visits are important because your doctor can:

• Check your blood pressure–high blood pressure is known as the “silent killer” because there are so few signs or symptoms. Untreated high blood pressure can lead to heart damage and a stroke.
• Check your weight–excess weight and obesity can lead to all kinds of medical issues including joint problems, diabetes, heart disease, and organ damage.
• Check your overall physical health–a preventive physical is an excellent way to treat medical issues early on, before they can grow into serious medical conditions.
• Order routine lab work–this is an excellent way to test your cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and other factors important to your continuing good health.
• Order imaging studies–diagnostic medical imaging is another important tool to check for joint and bone issues and other structural damage.
• Prescribe necessary medications–common medications to lower cholesterol, stabilize blood sugar, and lower blood pressure are all part of preventive care.
• Administer vaccinations–this is one of the easiest, most convenient ways to prevent serious diseases like pneumonia, influenza, shingles, and COVID. Vaccinations are a safe and effective part of preventive care.
