Los cuatro pilares Solo lo básico, por favor Por este, debemos dar el debido crédito al Dr. Rangan Chatterjee por su trabajo y las ideas en su libro, The 4 Pillar Plan . Si bien no seguimos su "estructura" al pie de la letra, ha proporcionado una base fantástica para este concepto. Siempre hemos centrado nuestro razonamiento en este patrón de pensamiento, y creemos que lo resumió increíblemente bien. Recomendamos su libro (s). Ampliamos un poco las ideas del Dr. Chatterjee y les agregamos nuestro propio giro para describir nuestra filosofía. Siempre hemos sentido que la buena salud se reduce esencialmente a los tres conceptos de nuestra página de inicio, pero, en términos de los aspectos básicos de la salud física, es prácticamente lo mismo que aprendiste en tu clase de salud de quinto grado. El desafío es que nos bombardean constantemente con mensajes que nos animan a comprar y consumir bienes e ideas que sirven al vendedor. Se nos dice que nuestras vidas no serán completas ni satisfactorias sin sus productos o estilo de vida. Esto es, por supuesto, una completa tontería. La verdad es que no podemos agregar más horas o actividades al día para vivir más. Pero hay cosas que podemos hacer para optimizar el tiempo del que disponemos. La clave, en cambio, es priorizar y simplificar y, si alguien te está vendiendo algo, probablemente no quieras comprarlo. Si comenzamos y nos atenemos a lo básico, nuestra vida física, mental, emocional y espiritual se construirá sobre una base sólida y tendremos el potencial para prosperar. ¿Qué son los cuatro pilares? Los cuatro pilares de la buena salud son: dieta, sueño, desestresarse y movimiento. Desglosamos cada uno de ellos en subsecciones de tipo, cantidad y tiempo. Tendrá que experimentar para ver qué funciona mejor para usted, pero, para resumir, podría verse así: Dieta: de tipo mediterráneo, evita los alimentos ultraprocesados, artificiales y fertilizados, piensa en lo 'natural' Tipo: Alimentos básicos: frijoles, verduras multicolores, cereales integrales, frutas y frutos secos. Puede incluir carnes magras algunas veces a la semana, prefiera pescado. Minimice el azúcar, la sal y las grasas saturadas / trans. Cantidad: lo que cabe en un plato de 9 ", tres veces al día. La cena es una comida más pequeña. Evite los bocadillos. Tiempo: ayune todos los días durante ~ 13 horas, coma solo la mitad de sus calorías diarias una vez por semana para perder 1 libra por semana Sueño: higiene adecuada del sueño, evitar la cafeína 12 horas antes de acostarse, sin pantallas (TV / teléfono), comience con técnicas de relajación progresiva Tipo: etapa profunda, REM Cantidad: 8.25 horas por noche (óptimamente) Tiempo: use la luz como guía, los mismos tiempos de vigilia / sueño, prepárese para dormir 30-60 minutos antes Elimine el estrés: medite, esté tranquilo en el momento, evite situaciones de estrés planificando con anticipación Tipo: meditación, oración, ejercicios de respiración profunda Cantidad: 10 minutos por la mañana y por la noche, más mini descansos de 1 minuto durante el día, cada hora Tiempo: cuando se levanta y se prepara para dormir, durante actividades estresantes Movimiento: consistente, agradable Tipo: soporte de peso, latido del corazón, movimiento diario Cantidad: Mínimo 150 minutos por semana Duración: 5-6 días a la semana, 2-3 horas después de una comida, series cortas en el momento o mientras espera Tenga en cuenta que cada pilar está lleno de números y parámetros. Esto se debe a que debemos medir para medir el progreso y avanzar. Hay un plan adjunto a cada objetivo, a cada sueño que se hará realidad, y necesitamos vernos en movimiento a lo largo del camino que creamos mientras tomamos decisiones sobre cómo vamos a cuidarnos y vivir nuestras mejores vidas. Se trata de ser conscientes de nosotros mismos y del mundo que nos rodea. No debemos apagarnos. Debemos sintonizarnos. Redondeándolo ¿Por qué son importantes los Cuatro Pilares? Porque sostienen el techo y la bandera. Si los Cuatro Pilares no son fuertes y estables, el techo y la bandera caerán al suelo. Es posible que haya escuchado una versión de la cita: "Sin su salud, nada más importa". Bueno, eso es lo que estamos diciendo aquí. Tenemos que aceptar nuestra existencia física y, para lograr nuestros propósitos aquí, debemos protegernos y nutrirnos. Nuestras mentes y cuerpos solo pueden ser parte del regalo temporal que se nos da, y es nuestra responsabilidad manejarlos con cuidado, gratitud y respeto. De hecho, todas las partes del sistema funcionan de forma sinérgica para crear una imagen completa de la salud: su salud. Si aún no lo ha hecho, consulte Alegría y propósito y Estilo de vida y medio ambiente para ayudarlo a completar el panorama general. Book an Appointment

Erectile dysfunction, commonly known as ED or impotence, is the inability to get and keep an erection firm enough for sex. Having difficulty with an erection from time to time isn't always a cause for concern, but it often is a source of embarrassment. Treatment may include focusing on an underlying issue, or medications and more direct treatments may be more appropriate. What are the risk factors for ED? Male sexual arousal is a complex process involving interconnected body systems. Additionally, stress, anxiety and mental health concerns can cause or worsen erectile dysfunction. Sometimes a combination of physical and psychological issues cause erectile dysfunction. Some common causes and risk factors include: Older age Tobacco use Diabetes Heart disease Obesity Prostate surgery Radiation treatment Injuries Some medications Drug or alcohol use Stress Anxiety Depression In order to prevent erectile dysfunction, we recommend healthy lifestyle choices and managing any existing health conditions such as diabetes, heart disease and other chronic health issues. You should stop smoking, avoid alcohol and illegal drugs, exercise regularly, learn to reduce stress and find help for anxiety, depression and mental health concerns. How do I discuss erectile dysfunction with my doctor? Short answer: However you're most comfortable. Just ask any question you need to in order to clarify your understanding. When you discuss erectile dysfunction with your provider at Daily Apple Clinic, they will review your current symptoms, medical history and other specific sexual problems such as premature or delayed ejaculation. You will review your medical history for diabetes, heart disease and other conditions that may be linked to your erectile dysfunction. Your provider will conduct a thorough physical exam and may recommend blood tests, urine tests, ultrasounds, or other imaging procedures in order to gather additional important information. What are common ED treatments? The treatment for ED generally starts with taking care of your heart and vascular health. Common treatments available for erectile dysfunction include: Lifestyle changes: Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, including weight loss if you’re overweight and regular exercise, may help reduce ED symptoms without the need for further intervention. You may be asked to stop smoking and stop using drugs and alcohol. You will likely also discuss emotional issues such as relationship conflicts, depression and anxiety. Medications: Oral pills known as phosphodiesterase type-5 inhibitors are the most common. Brand names are Viagra, Cialis, and Levitra. These medications increase penile blood flow and the rigidity of your erection. Hormone therapy: Low testosterone is a possible cause of erectile dysfunction. You may be tested several days apart in order to determine your levels of serum testosterone. If levels are low, your doctor may suggest injections, patches, or gels to boost testosterone in your body. Injections: Penile injections with a very fine needle, done by the patient at home, can stimulate blood flow and provide a reliable erection for 20 to 30 minutes. Self injection lessons will be given in the doctors office prior to doing it on your own. If you have hesitated to discuss erectile dysfunction with your provider up until now, please see a trusted and knowledgeable member of the Daily Apple Clinic healthcare team for assistance with this important issue.

Primary Care Daily Apple Clinic Adult Care, Primary Care, & Family Nurse Practitioners located in Congress Park, Denver, CO One of the best ways to maintain your health and reduce the risk of illness and disease is to see a primary care provider on a regular basis. A primary care provider is essential in helping you maintain good health, prevent disease by identifying risk factors, and manage chronic disease in order to increase longevity and improve your quality of life. Daily Apple Clinic is located in Congress Park in Denver, Colorado. Paul Reynolds, FNP and Monica Schonteich, FNP and all of the skilled providers there are ready and able to care for your needs. Our clinic generally specializes in primary care services for adults and kids ages 12 and older. Please call the office to schedule an appointment or book one online today. Call Us: 720-593-8989 Primary Care Q & A What is Primary Care? Primary care is healthcare at a general rather than specialized level, often for people making an initial approach to a doctor or nurse for treatment. It is a branch of medicine focused on the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of common chronic (ongoing) and acute conditions. Why might I need primary care? Primary care providers manage day-to-day health needs. Establishing a long-term relationship with a primary care provider (PCP) keeps you healthier and lowers medical costs. A PCP can teach you ways to stay healthy, treat you when you're sick and help you get more advanced care when you need it. You might need primary care if you’re at risk of, or currently need help with, some of the following conditions: High blood pressure High cholesterol Diabetes Heart disease Thyroid disorders Asthma or allergies Injuries Illnesses Arthritis Obesity Chronic pain Erectile dysfunction (ED) Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) Skin problems such as warts, moles, rashes, or skin tags In addition to primary care, Daily Apple Clinic offers a comprehensive list of specialized services and procedures. These might include dermatology services (cryogenic treatment, wart and skin tag removal, mole excision, biopsies, Botox, etc.), laceration repair with sutures or glue, wound care, urgent care needs, women's health procedures and testing, assistance with mental health and referrals to other specialists as needed. We provide vaccinations, medications, prescriptions, and more. What happens during primary care visits? When you arrive at Daily Apple Clinic for primary care appointments, you will be greeted by compassionate staff members who listen and are interested in how they can best take care of you. When testing is necessary, Daily Apple Clinic offers on-site, point-of-care testing which provide immediate results and so we can offer symptom relief as quickly as possible. Examples include: pregnancy tests, strep throat testing, mononucleosis testing, influenza testing, fecal occult blood tests, COVID testing, urinalysis, drug screening, spirometry, etc. Daily Apple Clinic also partners with both Quest and LabCorp. Those lab facilities are nearby, and there’s a pharmacy across the street for added convenience. The clinic also partners with many nearby hospitals and facilities for imaging and referrals. We offer many in-office procedures as noted above and fill medications via e-prescription. A clinical evaluation may include the following: Vital signs check: Your provider assesses your weight, body mass index (BMI), pulse, blood pressure, and temperature during the vital signs check portion of your appointment. Medical history review and physical: Your provider reviews your symptoms and medical history and completes a physical examination to assess your throat, breathing, heartbeat, abdomen, skin, reflexes, etc. In addition, your provider may perform breast and pelvic exams or a Pap test to screen for signs of cervical cancer in women or conduct a prostate exam for men. Diagnosing testing: If you have an illness, disease risk factors or show signs of a medical problem, your Daily Apple Clinic provider may recommend diagnostic testing. Examples include nasal or throat swabs, STD testing, blood tests, urine tests, asthma or allergy tests, pregnancy testing, X-rays, ultrasounds, or other imaging procedures. Treatment: Primary care treatments typically include lifestyle changes (weight loss, healthy eating, regular exercise, etc.) but may also include home remedies, dermatology treatments, medications, injections, or injury care. Your provider may refer you for further diagnostic testing or specialty care for complex medical problems. When should I schedule primary care appointments? Of course, every individual is different, so the following guidelines are not set in stone. In general for both men and women, if you are in basically good health and under the age of 50, it is recommended you see your PCP every three years for a checkup. After age 50, see your doctor once a year. Then, visit us as needed for acute illnesses, chronic health issues or follow-up visits. You are usually able to book a same-day appointment if you or your family and friends experience new or unusual symptoms or have concerns about your health and wellness.

Estilo de vida y medio ambiente Estilo de vida: mejorando Su estilo de vida describe sus ideas y acciones como se refleja en la forma en que pasa su tiempo. Enfatizamos el tiempo porque la vida se basa en el tiempo. Y, en ese momento, solo se mueve en una dirección, requiere que prioricemos continuamente nuestras elecciones mientras decidimos cómo interactuaremos con nuestro entorno y las personas dentro de nuestra esfera de influencia. Aunque tendemos a adormecernos felizmente con los segundos que pasan, la verdad es que cada momento es una bifurcación en el camino, una decisión que tomar. Cada elección se basa en la siguiente y, con el tiempo, se convierten en un hábito. El objetivo es que reconozcamos el poder de nuestras elecciones en cada posible coyuntura a medida que nos volvemos más saludables, felices, tranquilos, con más energía y más eficaces para compartirnos a nosotros mismos y nuestros mejores dones con los demás. El objetivo es desarrollar hábitos que mejoren nuestra vida. Según Freidman y Martin en The Longevity Project, las personas más longevas que estudiaron tenían las cualidades de una “persona prudente, persistente y bien organizada”. Llamaron a estas características "comportamientos concienzudos". Las personas que tenían estas cualidades tendían a tomar decisiones más saludables sobre el matrimonio y las relaciones, el trabajo y los comportamientos de salud, lo que también aumentaba la longevidad. Estas personas eran más reflexivas, proactivas, cuidadosas y consistentes. Pero, ¿cómo te conviertes en ese tipo de persona y qué puedes hacer para vivir más tiempo? ¿Y si alguien hubiera acumulado, organizado y sintetizado toda la mejor información sobre las mejores formas de vivir, y todo lo que tuvieras que hacer? ¿Qué fue aprenderlo, internalizarlo e implementarlo de una manera única? Medio ambiente: suelo rico Uno de nuestros autores favoritos, Dan Buettner, que escribió Blue Zones y The Blue Zones of Happiness merece todo el crédito por lo que creemos que es una de las mejores guías disponibles en esta área. En sus libros y en su sitio web , describe cómo descubrió cinco 'islas' de personas longevas en varios lugares del mundo y las lecciones que aprendió de ellas. Como escritor de National Geographic, la visión del mundo y las filosofías de Dan se basan firmemente en el concepto de "lugar". Propone que un medio ambiente saludable es la base para una vida saludable y que, en lugar de intentar cambiar los comportamientos en conjunto, podemos 'mover la aguja' más allá rediseñando las comunidades para que las opciones más saludables sean esencialmente inevitables. En DAC también estamos de acuerdo en que nuestros entornos deben optimizarse y que podemos hacerlo tanto de forma colectiva como individual. Coincidimos en que nuestro hogar es de lo más importancia. Nuestras clínicas están diseñadas intencionalmente como clínicas comunitarias. Apoyamos los jardines comunitarios, las caminatas semanales de limpieza en varios vecindarios, los senderos para caminar y andar en bicicleta y los espacios verdes siempre que sea posible. Alentamos a nuestros pacientes a que se reúnan en grupos para caminar, andar en bicicleta, nadar y correr por razones de salud social y física. Le pedimos que se levante temprano y dedique dos horas a la semana a disfrutar del entorno natural que lo rodea para sanar su cuerpo, refrescar su mente y conectarse con su yo espiritual. Dan y sus equipos de investigación de la Zona Azul pudieron extraer nueve características de la vida que las poblaciones longevas tienen en común. Descubrió que estos grupos: • Muévete naturalmente • Tener un sentido de propósito • Participar en rutinas de reducción del estrés • Deje de comer antes de que se llenen (regla del 80%) • Come principalmente plantas • Beba vino tinto con moderación con la familia, los amigos y la comida. • Pertenecer a una comunidad basada en la fe • Dar prioridad a la familia y los compañeros de vida • Tener redes sociales sólidas Esta lista nos brinda un excelente "anteproyecto" para describir un estilo de vida saludable que nos permitirá cometer menos errores según elijamos en el momento. Cuando elegimos vivir de una determinada manera y en un determinado entorno, tendremos mejores oportunidades de desarrollar esos hábitos saludables que sabemos que nos permitirán una vida mejor. Bastante simple. Recuerda: tu entorno es donde estás en cualquier momento. Son las personas con las que estás cerca (o no) todos los días. Debes optar por rodearte de alternativas saludables y voces saludables, para que seas plantado en un suelo rico que te permitirá crecer. Es absolutamente esencial que busques lugares, espacios y personas saludables y vivas para construir la mejor vida posible. Círculo completo: de vuelta a ti El crecimiento y el cambio siempre ocurren solo de una persona a la vez. Dado que cualquier individuo puede cambiar de opinión en cualquier momento, son los individuos quienes deben elegir respetarse unos a otros con intención y con buenas razones, y quienes luego velarán constantemente por los mejores intereses de la comunidad y el medio ambiente que comparten. Todo se reduce a cambiar el corazón de las personas. Y eso es en lo que nos enfocamos en DAC. Sabemos que no ayudaremos a todos. Solo tratamos de ayudar a los que podemos. Si nuestra voz se hace más grande, también lo hará nuestro impacto. Veremos cómo va, pero no pararemos de intentarlo. Nuestro objetivo en DAC es hacer el trabajo pesado por usted. Nuestro esfuerzo y enfoque es brindarle las ideas más veraces, útiles y efectivas para crear los mejores métodos para optimizar su vida y bienestar. ¿Por qué hacemos esto? Porque queremos que marques la diferencia en tu vida. Y parte de esa diferencia es ver que la vida nunca se trata solo de ti. En un universo de 13.5 mil millones de años y en un planeta donde hay alrededor de 8 mil millones de personas que han aparecido en el último 1/6 de segundo del año, ¿cómo puede esta existencia humana ubicarte en el centro? Debes mirar fuera de ti mismo para ver la razón por la que llegaste aquí. ¿Cómo y por qué llegaste a ser y qué vas a hacer con tu regalo de vida? Solo tomarás de esta vida las lecciones que aprendas y el amor que elijas. Permite que esta realidad te ayude a poner las cosas en perspectiva. Búscate a ti mismo para entender para qué fuiste hecho y para qué fuiste hecho. Descubre tus propósitos y permítete cumplirlos. Haremos todo lo posible para ayudarlo. Pero ... el tiempo corre.

Some STDs can cause serious health problems if left untreated. As well, having one STD increases your chances of having other STDs, like HIV. It is important to be tested regularly if you are sexually active, especially with multiple partners. Knowing your STD status is the only way you can avoid giving the infection to others. Paul Reynolds, FNP, Monica Schonteich, FNP, and the trained team at Daily Apple Clinic, conveniently located in Congress Park of Denver, Colorado, offer comprehensive STD testing and treatment to protect your health and the health of your partners. Call the office to schedule an appointment or request one online today. Call Us: 720-593-8989 STD Testing Q & A What are STDs? Sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) are infections caused by bacteria, viruses and parasites that are spread from one person to another, usually during vaginal, anal, and oral sex. And, while common, many people may not have discernible symptoms. STDs should be treated as soon as you become aware of them, or they may lead to serious health problems. Some of the most common STDs tested for at Daily Apple Clinic include: Genital herpes Human papillomavirus (HPV) Chlamydia Gonorrhea Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) Syphilis Trichomoniasis What symptoms suggest I have an STD? Persons with an STD may have the following symptoms: Unusual discharge from the penis or vagina Sores or warts around the genitals Unusual vaginal odor Anal or g enital itching and redness Pain during sex Painful or frequent urination What should I expect during STD testing? Being tested is important. If you are sexually active, especially with multiple partners, you should be tested annually, even if you are not showing symptoms. STD testing is not a standard part of your annual physical, so please request testing if you have any concerns. Any discussion you have with your provider and any results from testing are always confidential. Some STDs may be diagnosed during a physical exam or through microscopic examination of a sore or fluid swabbed from the vagina, penis, or anus. Blood tests can also diagnose other types of STDs. The clinic will send samples to the lab and receive your results within a few days. They will notify you as soon as they are available. What treatments are available for STDs? Antibiotics are typically used to treat STDs caused by bacteria or parasites. Viral STDs have no cure, but medicines can often help with the symptoms and lower your risk of spreading the infection. Some viral infections may also be treated with cryogenic or surgical procedures to remove infected tissue. You can reduce the risk of contracting and spreading STDs with the use of latex condoms, however the most reliable way to avoid infection is simply to not have anal, vaginal, or oral sex. Vaccines are also available to prevent HPV and Hepatitis B.

If you only experience headaches infrequently, managing them will likely only cause minor concern. However, severe or recurrent headaches may require help from a medical professional.

When you arrive at Daily Apple Clinic with headache symptoms, you will be evaluated to determine likely causes and the specific type of headache you may be experiencing.

Some of the most common headache types are: Cluster headaches: Cluster headaches are the most severe type of primary headache. Cluster headaches come in a group or "cluster", often in the spring or fall. They can occur one to eight times per day during a cluster period of two weeks to three months. The individual can experience an intense, throbbing or constant pain behind one of the eyes. Tension headaches: Tension headaches are the most common type of headache.

Coaching/Entrenamiento We believe in personal growth. Let's start with a story... As a freshman in college, Paul realized he was in sore need of guidance. The world had become a pretty big place, and it was clear he knew a lot less than he would need to know in order to get by in life. The voices around him had become unfamiliar, and he wondered who could help. He had always valued his grandmother's wisdom and thought she might have some answers. He also knew her life was coming to a close and didn't want to miss the opportunity to hear what she might have to say. So, he wrote her a letter. He told her he was feeling unsure about how to find his way, and he asked her what she thought were the most important things he needed to know in life. A couple of weeks later, he received a letter back. In it, she said, "Just do your best, and always be true to your word." And, here at Daily Apple Clinic, we think that was some pretty good advice. At DAC, we believe we can do no less than honor one another by being true to our word and waking up every day with the intention of being even better than the day before. We accept our human shortcomings and know that if we want to truly make a difference we can't just give lip service to the things we believe in. Instead, we aim to live and breathe our ideals in order to create change in ourselves and in the world around us. And, the truth is, we really don't have any other choice. We can only look to ourselves to be the people we want to be. Only you can choose for you. Life always puts us in the driver's seat. "Okay... sounds nice. I like being in charge of me, but how can I do that? How can I get started?" Well, it just requires a little mental gardening. You need to plant a seed in your mind. It begins with this: Attitude is everything. You first must decide how you will see the world and your future. As you awaken to what is possible and see yourself as a unique, capable and creative person, you will allow your independent, potential self the freedom to exist. You must not allow the perceptions of yourself that have been created by others control your future. It is your perspective and your vision forward that will guide you. It’s a simple concept, and we know that it works. There's really no rocket science here. You can't hit what you don't aim at, and, when people take a vested interest in being the best they can be, they always succeed. Something good always comes of that effort. Where you choose to focus is where you will end up, and, the truth is, we just have to choose that path. "Oh, but what about those scary pitfalls...?" Right... potholes, speed bumps, etc. We are well aware of them. Obstacles happen, and toddlers learn early on that they fall where gravity takes them, so you have to step up and out with both intention and with care in order to reach the endpoint you have in mind. Our goal is to help you find and choose the path that is best for you and help you avoid mistakes along the way. We’re not looking for perfection, just honest effort. We all stumble, but we expect you to take responsibility for learning healthy behaviors and putting them into practice a little at a time, step by step. We just expect everyone to do their best, every day. "So... what makes you think I can do this?" Because we know your potential. Yep... you. The truth is, your life and existence are nothing short of miraculous, and the world is waiting for you to show them what you have to offer. We truly believe every person has the capacity to do something amazing. Only you have your DNA and your gifts, and we remind our patients of their uniqueness and incredible capacity every day. When folks finally recognize their value and potential, they start to grow and get better as they follow their true purposes. It never fails. And, it's pretty cool. So, we're looking for patients who truly want to be healthier, happier and live their best possible lives. We are looking for people who will take personal responsibility for their choices and the ultimate direction their lives take. We're looking for people who hope to make a difference in their own special way as they make their gifts available to others. If you think that is you or you would like it to be you, we would love for you to join us on the journey. If things work out, we'll all get better together. When you become a patient, we will share our ideas about how you can be the person you want to be, provide resources for self-study as you find them helpful or useful, and connect you with counselors and educators to refine your specific goals. Our goal and purpose is to to help our patients live the lives they were meant to live. Take good care and hope to see you soon.

Dermatology is a branch of medicine concerned with the diagnosis and treatment of skin disorders. Patients seeking dermatology services will typically be interested in the evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of various skin conditions. Why might I need dermatology services? At Daily Apple Clinic we specialize in skin care services such as rashes, lesions, warts, moles, concerning bumps, cysts and infections, hair loss, and removing suspicious-looking growths to reduce your risk of skin cancer. You might need dermatology care if you experience the following skin conditions: Rashes Warts Moles Skin tags Fine lines Wrinkles Scrapes Cuts Burns Ingrown toenails If you have a mole or suspicious-looking skin changes, please consider visiting the Daily Apple Clinic team as soon as possible for an evaluation, as this may be a sign of skin cancer. Which dermatology services are available? Some of the many dermatology services available at Daily Apple Clinic include: Skin checks: Undergoing periodic skin checks is an excellent way to detect and treat skin cancer before it becomes serious and when it can still be treated effectively. During a skin cancer screening, your provider examines every part of your body, including your chest, face, arms, back, and legs, as well as your scalp, between your toes, behind your ears, and the bottoms of your feet. Biopsies: A skin biopsy is a procedure to remove cells or skin samples from your body for laboratory examination. A doctor uses a skin biopsy to diagnose skin conditions and remove abnormal tissue. If you notice abnormal-looking tissue, your provider may recommend a tissue biopsy for lab analysis by a pathologist. Cryosurgery: Cryosurgery is a surgery using the local application of intense cold to destroy unwanted tissue. In our clinics, this is done using liquid nitrogen in a special container designed to apply aerosolized liquid directly to the tissue with special tips that control the amount and direction of the liquid nitrogen. We use it to treat many skin conditions (including warts and skin tags). Wart and mole removal: Your Daily Apple Clinic provider can remove warts, moles, skin tags, and other tissue abnormalities to reduce irritation, bleeding, infection, cancer risk and improve the appearance of your skin. We may do this using cryosurgery or excision using a local anesthetic. Wound care: Your provider can treat scrapes, cuts, burns, and ingrown toenails to speed up healing, reduce the risk of infection, and alleviate pain. We can provide antibiotic medications, bandages, suture wounds and other minor surgical procedures.
