What services does the family practice provide?
Inspire Health Clinics offers various services
Physical exams
A physical exam is a routine check-up that assesses your physical and neurological health. During an exam, Heather examines your skin, shines a light in your ears, eyes, nose, and throat, takes your temperature, palpates your organs, measures you, and listens to your heart and respiratory rate.
Diagnostic imaging
Diagnostic imaging procedures, like ultrasound, X-rays, and MRI, use cutting-edge technologies to capture detailed photos of the hard and soft tissues beneath your skin. At Inspire Health Clinics, Heather uses diagnostic imaging to pinpoint fractures, dislocations, and other soft tissue injuries.
Laboratory testing
Laboratory testing analyzes samples of your blood, saliva, or urine to diagnose certain health problems, like nutritional deficiencies or hormonal imbalances. These tests can also determine your risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, and other chronic conditions.
Preventive screenings
Preventive screenings try to catch potentially serious issues early on when they respond best to treatment. The type of preventive screening that will most benefit you depends on several factors, including your age, medical history, and lifestyle.
Immunizations
Immunizations teach your immune system to identify harmful invaders like viruses or bacteria. By staying up-to-date on your vaccines, you can significantly reduce your risk of getting sick and protect those around you.
