Health Screenings

Although this site is oriented towards education on Joint Problems such as chronic Joint Pain and possible solutions, we believe that joint pain is irretrievably linked to our general health. We have already posted about how inflammation from oxidative stress can degrade the conditions of our joints, most notably our knees, and how life style and nutrition contribute to our conditions and our solutions.

MyAchingKnees.com believes in the routine health screening as a means to determine possible health problems before they become too big to manage. We have highlighted three different companies who offer various and different types of health screening below:

Life Long Screening

Life Line Screening is dedicated to providing affordable, reliable preventive health screenings. They believe that partnering with doctors to help detect health problems is an effective way to improve quality of life. Life Long Screening provides community-based screening events, staffed by highly trained healthcare professionals, through screenings taking place in neighborhoods all over the contiguous United States in community centers, places of worship, senior centers, and corporations.

Some of Life Long Screening services include: Ultrasound Screening; Finger Stick Blood Screenings; and, Limited Electrocardiographs.

MyAchingKnees.com really likes the blood testing services from Health Check USA and believes a series of blood tests (say every year) over a period of time (several years) is a great diagnostic tool to understand changes in your body and give some warning to potential emerging health problems.
