As we continue to fight against the spread of COVID-19 throughout our communities and around the world, an emerging solution in healthcare is beginning to gain traction with individuals of all ages and health backgrounds. This is telemedicine. Telemedicine is the practice of medicine provided conveniently to patients without the need to meet their physician in a doctor’s office. This means, patients can access the highest quality healthcare available to them from the comfort of their own homes, jobs, or anywhere else their smart devices work. 

 

While telemedicine has been growing for years, our current pandemic has paved the way for many patients to switch over to virtual appointments with their doctors to avoid potential exposure to the highly contagious COVID-19 virus. Some individuals feel skeptical about the effectiveness of telemedicine, however virtual medicine is proving to be as effective as traditional medicine, for less money, and more convenience. 

 

What are the benefits of telehealth?

While telehealth may not be the perfect solution for patients living with all conditions, it can be helpful for a wide range of needs. Listed below are some of the main benefits for individuals that choose telemedicine for their next doctor’s visit:

 

Reducing Exposure To COVID-19: Telemedicine helps to reduce the spread of COVID-19. One of the most difficult complications we are battling against this highly contagious virus is how long the incubation period for this virus can be. Oftentimes, patients do not display symptoms of this illness for well over a week, if at all, which may lead them to exercise less caution when around others. Additionally, when patients feel ill, they naturally will want to visit a doctor. Individuals with COVID-19 can leave germs in the waiting room, on door handles, and more. 

 

Avoid The Commute: When you visit with your physician virtually, you do not have to worry about taking time off of work or traveling across town to see your physician. This is especially helpful for patients living with chronic illness that require check-ups with their physician several times throughout the year. There is no reason to inconvenience your entire day for a 15-minute appointment with your physician. Instead, contact Healthy Living Primary Care in Conroe, TX for all of your healthcare needs. Our team can help you make the switch to virtual healthcare to alleviate the stresses that come with in-office visits, especially during the pandemic.  

 

What conditions can be treated through telehealth services?

Some of the most common conditions treated with telemedicine include allergies, arthritis, asthma, respiratory and sinus infections, bronchitis, colds and flu, diarrhea or constipation, infections, insect bites, pharyngitis, pink eye, rashes, skin rashes, infections or inflammation, sore throats, bladder infections, UTIs, vomiting, heartburn, nausea, joint aches and pain, headaches, and more. 

 

Additionally, continued monitoring of chronic conditions can be done through virtual visits for many patients. 

 

There are many reasons why telemedicine is the way of the future. Not all exams may be performed digitally, there are times when a patient may still require an in-person visit with their physician. Speak with your doctor to learn more about how virtual medicine can specifically help you get the healthcare you deserve. We are accepting new patients and offering continued healthcare to established patients through telemedicine and in-office appointments.
