Trooper, PA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/14/2022 -- Worldwide, approximately 2.5 million people suffer from Multiple Sclerosis. This devastating disease causes the immune system to attack nerve cells and renders individuals unable to properly transmit information, causing balance issues, weakened vision, fatigue, in addition to other unpredictable symptoms. During the month of March, healthcare practices and individuals team up to observe Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month, drawing attention to the disease and supporting those who are currently struggling with MS.

According to Erica Thomas, PhD, Practice Administrator at Pointe Primary Care in Lewes, Delaware, "There are many resources available for those diagnosed with MS. One resource is the National Multiple Sclerosis Society which can provide emotional support, help navigate the complexities of finding a healthcare provider, and supply educational materials." The cause of MS is unknown and there is no cure. However, this does not stop doctors and healthcare practitioners alike from researching and discovering ways patients who struggle with MS can find relief. Medications that help manage symptoms and rehabilitation strategies to help improve functionality are some of the many options in treating MS, according to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

"We haven't given up hope yet. The National Institutes of Health currently sponsor experimental stem cell treatments as well as investigations into genes that may be associated with an increased risk for MS," explains Erica Thomas. Individuals can observe Multiple Sclerosis Awareness Month by becoming an advocate, donating to MS organizations, or participating in local or national MS walks held in your community. Show your support for MS Month by wearing the orange ribbon. If you are showing symptoms of MS or are currently struggling with Multiple Sclerosis, speak with a healthcare professional today.

Lewes, DE -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/14/2022 -- Approximately 659,000 men and women die each year from heart disease— the leading cause of death in the United States. In an effort to raise awareness about the importance of cardiovascular health, healthcare practices across the nation recognize American Heart Month every February by providing individuals with life-saving knowledge and vital advice to reduce their risk of heart disease.

"This February, it's important that we spread awareness that leading a heart-healthy life can help add years to a person's life," says Erica Thomas, Ph.D., Practice Administrator at Pointe Primary Care in Lewes, Delaware. "We encourage patients to be cognizant that heart disease can occur at any age and is the leading cause of death in America."

Heart disease refers to numerous conditions that impact the heart from functioning properly. The CDC reports over 47% of individuals in the United States have at least one of the following three risk factors for heart disease: high cholesterol, smoking, or high blood pressure. Known to be a "silent" disease, both men and women of all ages should take immediate action in reducing their risk. Simple lifestyle changes to increase heart health can mean living a longer, happier life, and individuals should start today.

"The CDC recognizes four ways to increase heart health: don't smoke, manage conditions such as high blood pressure or cholesterol, eat a healthy diet, and exercise," shares Erica Thomas. "Focusing on these four lifestyle changes is a great start towards positive heart health. People who have a family history of high blood pressure or heart disease should consult their providers about their risks."

Lewes, DE -- (ReleaseWire) -- 03/01/2022 -- During the month of February, healthcare practices across the nation recognize National Self Check Month to encourage individuals to take control of their health by promoting early detection measures. Early detection is the number one preventative measure individuals can take to reduce chronic disease and illness.

"National Self Check Month is extremely important in reminding us that often early detection can help save a life. Behaviors and exposures from earlier in life can greatly impact your later years; however, it's never too late to make positive changes to reduce risk," explains Erica Thomas, Ph.D., Practice Administrator at Pointe Primary Care in Lewes, Delaware. "Prevention is key with diseases such as diabetes and cancer."

Pointe Primary Care encourages individuals to take action this month to promote positive health and wellness. Their providers share advice on how to decrease the chances of chronic disease and illnesses, which include:

1: Self Check Your Body For Any Abnormal Lumps
2: Examine Your Skin For Mole Growth
3: Take Your Temperature
4: Check Your Pulse To Ensure Normal BPM
5: Seek A Medical Professional for Routine Checkups

"Regular physicals and screenings, avoiding excessive UV exposure, exercising, and healthy diet is key in maintaining one's health," shares Erica Thomas. "We all have the power to better prevent disease and it needs to start today."

Preventative care screenings and exams are a proactive approach towards the detection of diseases. Some preventative care options include blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, and cancer screenings as well as comprehensive physicals, assessing diabetic risk, weight management, nutrition support, and more. Speak with your provider today to discuss any questions about how to self-check at home or to schedule routine screenings.
