5 Medical Services We Offer to Help You Feel Your Best

11 - Apr - 2019 Navarro Medical

Road to a better life signAt Navarro Medical, we offer an extensive list of medical services at our Lake Wales, Florida location for your convenience. Although health-related appointments can be a challenge to work into a busy lifestyle, accomplishing more with one-stop can make it easier than ever before to schedule around your daily activities and office meetings. In addition, you can feel confident Dr. Navarro will diagnose and discuss any concerns with a holistic and least invasive treatment plan. His approach allows you to feel much better while eliminating fears of excessive medical expenses and unnecessary additional discomfort.      

  1. Preventative Care
    Your car runs smoother and lasts longer when you change the oil, check your tire pressure and fluid levels, and come into the auto shop for routine check-ups. As your vehicle ages, it will eventually need parts repaired or replaced and some general TLC to continue transporting you to your destination safely. Since each car can experience different issues at different times through the lifespan of the vehicle, it is these routine visits with the mechanic that often catch an issue before it impacts your daily commute and savings plan.

    Think of preventative care with Dr. Navarro and his expert staff in the same way. Dr. Navarro is trained to uncover both hidden and known health problems at the source, which means less time spent in on-going treatments and more time living your life. In other words, it is as the old adage says, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." Much like your car repairs, the earlier your doctor discovers the presence of these underlying issues the faster you can begin the process of healing and get back to what you love to do. 

  2. Screenings 
    Part of your routine and preventative health care plan may include screenings, such as those related to women's health issues, urinary tract infections (UTI), or sexually transmitted diseases (STD's). Patients may be screened for these potentially serious conditions at the same Lake Wales office where they go for their regularly scheduled appointments. Walk-ins are always welcome during normal business hours at Navarro Medical or book your appointment online or by phone at (863) 949-6541 to save time.

  3. Pre-Op Clearance
    Whenever surgery is the best option for improving your health, your physician will conduct a preoperative medical evaluation. This will reduce the potential risks associated with surgeries by determining any diseases or medications that can affect the selected procedure or suggested anesthesia. Whether your surgeon has asked you to see a physician to complete this evaluation before your scheduled surgery or your elected surgery will require the evaluation before scheduling, Dr. Navarro can help with evaluating any known risks to your procedure by performing this clearance exam.  

  4. Osteopathic Medicine
    Along with the trepidation over paying high medical bills, many people associate going to the doctor with prescriptions and treatment options that can add discomfort or produce harmful side effects. Dr. Navarro practices osteopathic medicine, which enables him to use a safe and painless hands-on method of assessing your whole body's health as well as treatments that do not involve pharmaceuticals and surgical procedures whenever possible. Doctors of Osteopathy or DO's are like any other medical physician in terms of training, licensing, and services. However, they have also gone beyond traditional medical training to acquire additional knowledge about your body's musculoskeletal system and intricately interconnected nervous system to learn ways to help your body heal itself naturally from the inside.

  5. Chronic Illness, Injury, and Pain Management
    Osteopathy is perhaps especially helpful for patients with chronic illness, pain or injury. If you are suffering from symptoms of a disease or injury that medication only temporarily reduces or eliminates while potentially creating other issues with the side effects of the medicine, then a DO can introduce non-pharmaceutical pain management options aimed at healing the source of the irritation.

Effective and holistic wellness clinics that offer a wide array of services is on the rise across the United States. DO's who get proven results from their non-pharmaceutical approach, such as Dr. Navarro, are becoming the new image of internal medicine physicians. To learn more about how Dr. Navarro and his team can design a plan that will aid in your body's efforts to heal itself, make an appointment today. Remember the earlier you come in, the faster you will be on the road to better health!
