Understanding Degenerative Disorders
Degenerative disorders are conditions characterized by the gradual deterioration of tissues, organs, or systems in the body. These disorders often result from the aging process, genetic predispositions, or environmental factors. While the progression of degenerative disorders can vary, they generally lead to a decline in bodily functions and can significantly impact mobility, cognition, and overall well-being.

At Eastside Family Health Center, we take a comprehensive and individualized approach to diagnosing and treating degenerative disorders. Our team of experienced physicians, specialists, and therapists work collaboratively to conduct a thorough evaluation, including medical history, physical examinations, and advanced diagnostic tests. This detailed assessment allows us to accurately diagnose the specific degenerative disorder and develop a personalized treatment plan tailored to each patient's unique needs.

Our clinic stays at the forefront of medical advancements, incorporating evidence-based treatments that have shown promising results. Some of the innovative approaches we offer include:
