Below are the types of screenings we offer.

STROKE SCREENING
Stroke is a devastating disease that takes the life of 160,000 Americans annually and leaves many more with long term mental and physical disability.  The good news is; if identified early, up to 80% of strokes can be prevented!  The Carotid Arteries are the large blood vessels on either side of the neck that supply blood to the head and brain. You’ll lay face-up on an exam table.  We apply acoustic gel to an ultrasound transducer.  We run the transducer along the neck to take measurements and pictures of each artery.       
ABDONIMAL AORTIC ANEURYSM SCREENING (AAA)
The aorta is our largest blood vessel and its purpose is to carry oxygen-rich blood from our heart to the rest of our body. High blood pressure, atherosclerosis, genetic conditions, and normal wear and tear from aging can result in a weakened aortic wall.  In up to 90% of cases, this serious medical emergency causes death within minutes or shortly after arrival to the hospital.  You’ll lay face-up on an exam table.  We apply acoustic gel to an ultrasound transducer.  We move the transducer across your bare abdomen, taking measurements and pictures.
PERIPHERAL ARTERY DISEASE SCREENING (PAD)
Peripheral Artery Disease occurs as the arteries in the legs narrow and hardens (atherosclerosis).  If left untreated, PAD can cause gangrene and amputation.  You lay face-up on an exam table.  We place blood pressure cuffs around your arms and ankles.  We inflate the cuffs and calculate your ABI.
ARTERIAL STIFFNESS INDEX SCREENING
The restriction of blood flow, pieces of plaque or blood clots moving through the arteries can cause a stroke, heart attack, insufficient blood supply to the limbs (peripheral arterial disease), damage to organs, and abdominal aortic aneurysms.  The Arterial Stiffness Index is a painless test that uses the same blood pressure cuffs as the test for Peripheral Artery Disease.  You sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor.  We attach a very sensitive blood pressure cuff to one of your arms.  We inflate the cuff, applying minimum tension.
OSTEOPOROSIS SCREENING
A major health threat for 44 million Americans which 2 million are males. **Each year 80,000 men get a hip fracture & 1/3 of these men die in a year.  Your foot is placed in a machine called a Bone Densitometer.  When the membranes around your foot inflate an ultrasound is taken.

“It’s not really my scene, all that herbs and rubbing hot stones on your energy centres, Rod. Not sure I can help you.” I apologised, trying not to sneer too much.

“Just think about it for a minute”, He replied. “We don’t want an expert’s opinion. For instance, do you have any reoccurring health problems that you’d appreciate advice on?”

“Well lets see. I drink and I smoke. Oh, and I have a bit of heartburn”. “To be fair”, Rodney said, The first three aren’t health problems, they are lifestyle problems.

“So for instance, your heartburn is caused by acid from your stomach, entering the lower part of you oesophagus. This is prompted in a number of ways. Eating causes your stomach to increase acid production to digest the food, and so modification of your food intake can reduce risk of heartburn. Similarly, smoking and alcohol consumption can lead to heartburn, also called acid reflux. You can avoid this by eating and drinking the right food and drink.”

“Ah, so this is preventative health?” I said, as the penny dropped. “So you don’t have to wear sandals and believe in karma, and hate squashing small living things for this to be useful then?”

“Of course not. You can be a godless cynical ignoramus just like yourself, and this sort of information will still be relevant. It’s just about knowing the cause and effect, and taking preventative action”.

I thanked Rodney for his time and retired for the evening. I lit myself a cigarette and topped up my wineglass, and reflected on how, well, some people will never learn.
