Telehealth

In a time of crisis and limited access to health care providers, the existence of alternative means of medical evaluation and treatment become paramount. Telehealth, an industry in its relatively early stages in the United States, is now getting a jolt because of COVID-19.

What is Telehealth?

Telehealth is the use of audio and visual means to remotely provide evaluation and treatment of a patient.  Clearly, the in-person evaluation and management of the patient is the preferred option, but telehealth provides a satisfactory alternative for many.  In its typical form, the provider and patient interact through an electronic communications device (smart phone, tablet, or computer).  The provider arrives at a diagnosis and institutes treatment.  Depending upon the findings and other extenuating circumstances, testing and even an in-person visit may be recommended.

Why is Telehealth important right now?

We are going to witness exponential growth in the performance of telehealth services over the upcoming months.  The ability to receive treatment for many ailments without an in-person visit is critical to limit exposure, especially for elderly patients.

Common Sleep Disorder Symptoms

The inner ear serves two purposes: hearing and balance. There are mechanisms in the ear that inform the brain about your position, orientation in space and movement and all times to keep you in balance.

A false sensation of spinning or whirling, known as vertigo, can occur when the signal to the brain is blocked or misfires.

The ear is made up of three sections: the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Each of these areas is susceptible to infections, which can be painful. Young children have a greater tendency to get earaches.

While most ear pain resolves itself in a matter of days, you should get a physical examination to understand the type of infection, prevent it from spreading and obtain treatment to help alleviate the pain.

Snoring is a noise produced during sleep that originates in the back of the throat or nose.

Snoring occurs when the muscles in the back of the mouth, tongue and throat relax while sleeping, which narrows or blocks the airway.

Breathing causes your uvula (soft palate) to vibrate and knock against the back of the throat, resulting in the snoring sound.
