What is Preventative Medicine and how can it help me?
Preventive Medicine is practiced by all physicians to keep their patients healthy. It is also a unique medical specialty recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties (ABMS).
Preventive Medicine focuses on the health of individuals, communities, and defined populations. Its goal is to protect, promote, and maintain health and well-being and to prevent disease, disability, and death.
Chronic Disease is a long-lasting condition that can be controlled but not cured. Chronic illness affects the population worldwide. As described by the Centers for Disease Control, chronic disease is the leading cause of death and disability in the United States.
Check out the Chronic Disease Resource Center to the right for information, tips and info on Chronic Disease management, control and prevention.

Minor surgery is any invasive operative procedure in which only skin or mucus membranes and connective tissue is resected e.g. vascular cutdown for catheter placement, implanting pumps in subcutaneous tissue. Bernacki Family Practice can do many procedures that can be done right here in our office. These procedures do not require any extended stay or patient admittance. Review the list of procedures and contact us with any questions.
Osteopathy is a form of drug-free non-invasive manual medicine that focuses on total body health by treating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework, which includes the joints, muscles and spine. Its aim is to positively affect the body's nervous, circulatory and lymphatic systems.
Osteopathic care is hands-on care. It involves using the hands to diagnose, treat, and prevent illness or injury. Using OMT, your osteopathic physician will move your muscles and joints using techniques including stretching, gentle pressure and resistance.
Care Coordination
Care coordination involves deliberately organizing patient care activities and sharing information among all of the participants concerned with a patient's care to achieve safer and more effective care. This means that the patient's needs and preferences are known ahead of time and communicated at the right time to the right people, and that this information is used to provide safe, appropriate, and effective care to the patient.
For more information and additional resources on Care Coordination, check out the resource center to the right.
Elderly care, or simply eldercare (also known in parts of the English speaking world as aged care), is the fulfillment of the special needs and requirements that are unique to senior citizens. This broad term encompasses such services as assisted living, adult day care, long term care, nursing homes (often referred to as residential care), hospice care, and home care.

Wellness is a proactive pursuit of continued growth and balance in the seven dimensions of wellness. While many people think about "wellness" in terms of physical health only, it should be viewed as a full integration of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. It is a complex interaction that leads to quality of life. In fact, research studies related to wellness indicate that individuals who make healthy lifestyle choices are healthier, happier, more productive, miss work less, and have lower healthcare costs.
As a family practice that is looking out for you, we're all in when it comes to promoting wellness in all areas of your life. Contact us today or check out some of the helpful resources in the Health Promotion Resource Center to the right.

When appropriate, OMT can complement, and even replace, drugs or surgery. In this way, OMT brings an important dimension to standard medical care.
