What is chronic disease management?

Chronic disease management helps you optimize your health despite living with long-term medical conditions that endure for years or a lifetime.

If you have a chronic condition, Dr. Apa offers an alternative to conventional disease management. You could also combine the two methods for an integrative approach.

With his help, you can feel stronger and fitter and ease some of the common problems chronic diseases cause, such as pain, weight changes, mobility problems, and organ dysfunction.

What are chronic diseases?

Chronic diseases include any condition that typically lasts for many months or years. Many chronic diseases are incurable, but with careful management you can live a long, productive life. Common chronic diseases Dr. Apa often sees include:

• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Autoimmune diseases
• Thyroid disease
• Cancer
• Heart disease
• Back pain
• Diabetes
• Kidney and liver disease
• Asthma
• Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
• Long-term infectious diseases, like Lyme Disease
• Fibromyalgia and other chronic pain conditions
• Arthritis and other causes of joint pain

These and many other chronic diseases are widespread in the United States. They can cause severe disability, and some are potentially life-threatening.

Dr. Apa can help you manage your condition better. After a comprehensive evaluation, he works with you to develop an appropriate chronic disease management program.

What will my chronic disease management plan look like?

Treatments that can benefit your chronic disease management plan include:

Diet changes

A poor diet is a contributing factor and often the cause of many health conditions, including excess body weight.

Food supplements

Food supplements help to address nutrient deficiencies in your diet.

Herbal remedies

Herbs have been valuable chronic disease treatments for thousands of years.

Homeopathy

Homeopathy is a safe therapy that can help people with a wide range of chronic diseases. Dr. Apa selects the homeopathic remedies most suited to your condition.

Rife therapy

Rife therapy uses specific sound frequencies to destroy harmful cells and microorganisms.

The Apathecary Natural Health Center uses a functional medicine approach to health care. That means they investigate and treat the root causes of your disease rather than just masking the symptoms.
