Sick Visits

What kinds of issues can be addressed during sick visits?

Jackie offers sick visits as part of her comprehensive health services. These visits focus on identifying the cause of your current symptoms and starting you on the right treatment path. 

A wide range of issues can bring you in for a sick visit. Some of the more common concerns addressed during these visits include:

• Fever
• Nausea and vomiting
• Constipation or diarrhea
• Sinus infections
• Urinary tract infections
• Upper respiratory infections
• Back pain
• Minor lacerations and abrasions
• Sprains and strains
• Sexually transmitted disease

If you’re in pain or concerned about symptoms, coming in for a sick visit allows Jackie to determine if you need more in-depth diagnostic support. In most cases, treatment begins in the office, helping you feel better as quickly as possible. 

How can I best prepare for sick visits?

Take a few moments to prepare for your visit to help you make the most of your appointment at New Day New Horizon. Begin by creating a comprehensive list of any medications and supplements you take, including the dosage. 

Prepare to discuss your symptoms in detail, including when you first began to notice changes and which, if any, self-care efforts seem to improve those symptoms. The more information you can provide, the easier it becomes for Jackie to quickly and accurately diagnose your condition. 

How do I know when to book sick visits?

Some people wait until their symptoms become unbearable before they seek out a sick visit. There’s no need to suffer when help is readily available. Sick visits are part of the health services Jackie offers to all of her patients, so you should never hesitate to reach out for help when needed. 

Of course, if you experience any of the following, head to the nearest emergency room right away: 

• Uncontrolled bleeding
• Chest pain
• Shortness of breath
• Loss of consciousness
• Visibly broken bones
• Severe allergic reaction
