The FemmPro MIDWIFE team takes a holistic approach to evaluate your lifestyle, food sensitivities, environmental exposure, and lab work to keep you healthy and limit inflammation before chronic disease develops.
They offer a personalized, patient-centered approach to care, taking time with you, and providing resources that promote lifestyle intervention over medications.
During disease prevention appointments, your FemmPro MIDWIFE provider discusses your personal and family medical history and asks questions about past surgeries, diagnoses, and medications. They check your blood pressure and other vital signs and complete a comprehensive physical exam.
Your midwife might recommend blood tests, urine tests, allergy tests, asthma tests, a Pap smear, or other diagnostic tests to diagnose your condition and its root cause and develop a treatment plan.
Disease prevention strategies available at FemmPro MIDWIFE include:
The goal of the team at FemmPro MIDWIFE is to offer holistic treatments without the need for harsh medications or invasive surgical procedures. Preventive medicine reduces your risk of disease and treats health problems with lifestyle changes whenever possible.
