The Importance of Wellness Checkups

Most of us visit the doctor’s office only when we encounter a troubling health concern.

But at Warner Orthopedics & Wellness, we promote a preventative care mindset.

Here are a few reasons why this is so important to us, and to your health:

Identify health concerns before they become a problem. Recognizing a weak joint, and developing an exercise routine to strengthen the joint takes much less time than addressing late-stage arthritis.
Familiarity with your patient history will help us reach a diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan sooner.
Keeping an eye on future health concerns with regular blood tests, lifestyle updates, and putting you on the path to maintaining your health and wellness.

3 WAYS WE CAN HELP YOU MAINTAIN YOUR WELLNESS

CHECKING INFLAMMATORY MARKERS

Most of us are experiencing low-grade inflammation – the type that can’t necessarily be seen or felt, but can still have consequences on your health. Inflammation marker tests can help determine your inflammation levels.

FAMILY AND PATIENT HISTORY KNOWLEDGE

Our experts are well-trained to diagnose and treat every patient that walks through our doors. But with regular checkups, and a familiarity with your medical history and family history, comes a better understanding of what may be causing a particular health concern.

IDENTIFYING HORMONAL IMBALANCES

Hormonal imbalances can lead to thyroid issues and a host of other health concerns. Regular blood tests and checkups can help keep you ahead of the curve, and address these imbalances before they become problematic.

top WAYS TO STAY HEALTHY

AT WARNER ORTHOPEDICS & WELLNESS, OUR GOAL IS TO GIVE YOU THE TOOLS YOU NEED TO ACHIEVE YOUR DIET & EXERCISE GOALS!

1. eat a well balanced diet

Eating and maintaining a balanced diet is key to your overall health. Choose a diet that includes lots of fruit, vegetables, whole grains and a moderate amount of unsaturated fats, meat and dairy. Dr. Warner recommends the Mediterranean diet. Don’t forget to limit your sugar intake and alcohol in moderation.

2. Maintain a healthy weight

Exercising regularly and being physically active is part of maintaining a healthy weight. You can walk your dog, run outside, or even workout at home. Not only is exercise good for maintaining a healthy weight, exercise is also tied to your immunity!

3. stay hydrated

Drinking water regularly helps you stay healthy. It’s recommended that men drink 13 cups (about 3 liters) of water each day. Women are recommended to drink 9 cups (just over 2 liters) of water each day. Go easy on the alcohol and stay away from sugary drinks, like soda, juices, and sports drinks.

4. Get a good night's sleep

There is a very strong connection between sleep quality and quantity and your immune system and health. You can keep your immune system functioning properly by getting seven to eight hours of sleep each night. Keep to a regular sleep schedule, make sure to regulate your stress levels, and avoid blue light or screen time at least an hour before bed. You can also try Dr. Warner’s Restful Sleep Gummies which aids in sleep and are anti-inflammatory.

5. Regular Blood Work

Wellness blood workups can tell us a lot about your health, and give us the information we need to curate a specific wellness routine for you.

With these tests, we can determine your Vitamin B & D levels, Hormonal levels, Inflammatory markers, and more

WE'RE HERE TO HELP YOU REALIZE YOUR HEALTH GOALS

Dr. Meredith Warner founded her private practice according to her beliefs that functional medicine, or functional wellness, should be blended with conventional Orthopedic medicine.

At Warner Orthopedics & Wellness, we believe that good medicine should be proactive and encompass the whole of you and your body’s systems.

How We Support You On Your Wellness Journey:
Functional healing focuses more on supporting an already healthy lifestyle – or adapting routines to create a healthier way of living – instead of merely responding to illness and injury with treatments designed to only address symptoms.

At our clinic, we believe that you are ultimately in charge of accomplishing your health goals. We just give you the tools and resources you need to get started towards a path to better overall wellness.

We believe that you should be empowered in your health journey.

If surgery is required, we will give you the tools you need to recover faster and better than prior to the injury.
