How does chronic disease management work?

Chronic disease management helps you control the symptoms of a long-term illness and reduces your risk of experiencing any disease complications. Typically, effective chronic disease management involves multiple strategies and recommendations:

Medications

Many, but not all, chronic diseases benefit immensely from medications. Be sure to take your medications according to the team’s instructions: Some are as-needed, while others are taken daily. 

Testing

Regular testing allows the Rofé Medical team to track your disease’s progression and update your care plan. 

Lifestyle changes

An unbalanced diet and other unhealthy behaviors can worsen chronic disease symptoms. The team at Rofé Medical may ask that you stop smoking, reduce alcohol consumption, or be more selective of the foods you eat as you navigate life with a chronic illness. 

Who can benefit from chronic disease management?

Chronic diseases are medical conditions that last for at least a year and require ongoing medical attention or modifications to how you live your life. They often cause pain, disrupt your sleep, and lead to serious complications that further reduce your quality of life. 

Common chronic diseases that improve with personalized chronic disease management are:

• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• High blood pressure
• Heart disease
• Diabetes
• High cholesterol
• Cancer

Though many chronic diseases stem from unhealthy behaviors, many causes and contributing factors aren’t within your control. You might develop a chronic disease because of your genetics, environment, or a combination of factors. 

What are the benefits of chronic disease management?

Properly managing a chronic disease leads to numerous benefits to improve your quality of life. While you might experience personal improvements that are unique to you, some common benefits are:

• Reduced symptoms 
• Fewer complications
• Better sleep
• Better mood and outlook on life
• Increased longevity

The Rofé Medical team makes sure you’re always getting the best possible care for your chronic illness or illnesses. They continuously update your care plan as your needs evolve and can coordinate treatments for multiple conditions at the same time.
