Chronic Conditions

At Brentwood Primary Care, we understand that living with a chronic health condition can be difficult. We are committed to working with you to develop a treatment plan that meets your individual needs and helps you manage your condition.

Chronic health conditions are defined as any condition that lasts for more than 3 months and cannot be cured. While chronic health conditions cannot be cured, they can be managed through treatment. There are many benefits to treating chronic health conditions, including but not limited to improved quality of life, decreased pain and suffering, and increased life expectancy.

Improved Quality of Life

One of the most important benefits of treating chronic health conditions is improved quality of life. When chronic health conditions are managed through treatment, patients are able to do more activities that they enjoy and live their lives more fully. In addition, patients often find that their relationships improve when their chronic health condition is managed because they have more energy and are able to participate in more activities.

Decreased Pain and Suffering

Treating chronic health conditions can also lead to decreased pain and suffering. When chronic health conditions are left untreated, they often cause a great deal of pain and suffering for patients. However, when they are treated, this pain and suffering is often alleviated or at least significantly reduced. This can improve patients’ overall quality of life as well as their physical and mental health.

Increased Life Expectancy

Chronic health conditions can also shorten life expectancy if they are left untreated. However, when chronic health conditions are treated, life expectancy often increases. This is because treatment often leads to improved quality of life as well as decreased pain and suffering. In addition, treatment often leads to early detection and treatment of other serious medical conditions that could shorten life expectancy if left untreated.
