Wellport offers a complete screening program using the latest non-invasive medical tools. All equipment is FDA-approved and provides critical, preliminary information about your present and future health.
Initial blood work is evaluated through a comprehensive chemical panel that employs the use of lipid, liver and kidney profiles all of which are key indicators of various diseases. The accuracy of Wellport's cholesterol/glucose screen is comparable to laboratory tests, but offers results in minutes rather than days, identifying clients at risk for cardiovascular disease or diabetes. If diabetes has been diagnosed, the non-invasive Hemoglobin A1c screening device assists in health management through the monitoring of hemoglobin levels.
Body composition is an extremely important assessment due to the health implication of proper weight control. A special screening device-a complete body composition analyzer-provides information related to weight and body mass. Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary heart disease are among the diseases that result from unhealthy weight management.
A bone density test quickly and easily assesses bone strength, exposing the presence of osteoporosis, a weakening of the skeletal system that can result in broken bones, hospitalization, and extensive rehabilitation. With early diagnosis, medications can increase bone strength safely and easily.
Additional Wellport screening tools help assess heart and lung health. An advanced blood pressure device provides more accurate reading that conventional equipment, assisting in identifying clients who are at significant risk for cardiovascular disease. Augmenting the standard wellness package, ECG screenings can be performed on site. Permitting early dectection of possible abnormalities in the transmission of cardiac impulses, the ECG is an important aid in the screening of heart ailments. Screening for lung health is provided through a device called a spirometer, addressing pulmonary conditions like emphysema, asthma and chronic bronchitis, and the progress of smoking cessation programs.
