Pulmonary Medicine
Pulmonary medicine is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of diseases and disorders of the lungs and respiratory system.
We care for patients with a broad spectrum of conditions including conditions such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), lung cancer, pneumonia, and tuberculosis, among others.
One of the most important aspects of pulmonary medicine is preventive care. This means taking steps to prevent the development of respiratory diseases and conditions, as well as early detection and treatment to minimize the progression and severity of symptoms.
Regular check-ups with a pulmonary medicine doctor are also essential for preventive care. At Independent Lung Associates we perform a physical exam and take a medical history to identify potential risk factors for respiratory diseases, such as smoking, exposure to pollutants, or a family history of lung cancer.
We offer comprehensive care for our patients and offer pulmonary function testing and an exercise program for patients with chronic lung disease within our clinic. In addition, we are actively engaged in lung cancer screening and with our experienced interventional pulmonology program can offer cutting-edge, minimally invasive techniques if a procedure is needed.
Pulmonary medicine and preventive care are essential for maintaining the health of the lungs and respiratory system. Regular check-ups with a pulmonologist, healthy lifestyle habits, and early detection and treatment of respiratory diseases can greatly improve the chances of recovery.
