TIENAHEALTH recommends the following procedures to help you optimize your health.

  • Complete Physical Exam: To review your medical history and overall health status, and to perform a thorough physical exam and discuss health-related topics. For teenagers, it is a time to discuss drugs, alcohol and contraception.
  • Cancer Check-up: It is important to know risk factors, warning signs and symptoms of cancer, as well as the latest diagnostic tests, procedures and treatment options available. This is a time to have your questions answered.
  • Blood Pressure Check: High blood pressure (Hypertension) is a silent illness (with no symptoms). It can cause permanent damage to many body organs.
  • Blood Tests and Urinalysis: Screens for various illnesses and diseases (such as cholesterol, diabetes, kidney function etc.) before symptoms occur.
  • PSA (Prostatic Specific Antigen): Levels rise when there is an abnormality in the prostate gland.
  • EKG: Screens for heart abnormalities. A stress test on a treadmill screens for blockage in the heart arteries.
  • Rectal Exam: Screens for hemorrhoids, lower rectal problems, and for colon and prostate cancer.
  • Hemoccult: Screens the stool for microscopic amounts of blood that can be the first indication of polyps or colon cancer.
  • Sigmoidoscopy: (Proctoscopy) A flexible fiber-optic scope examines the rectum and lower colon to diagnose colon cancer at its earliest and treatable stages. It also detects polyps, which are benign growths that can progress to cancer if not found early.
  • Pelvic Exam and Pap Smear: Screens for cervix, vaginal, and uterus cancer, as well as other disorders that can affect women, even without symptoms. Early detection of female cancers improves cure rates.
  • Breast Exam: To find abnormal lumps in their earliest stages.
  • Mammogram: Detects lumps or tumors too small to be felt. Early detection at this small stage improves cure rates for breast cancer.
  • Tetanus Booster: To prevent tetanus ("lockjaw").
  • Chest X-Ray: Should be performed yearly in smokers over 45 years old. The usefulness of this test on a yearly basis is debatable, due to poor cure rates of lung cancer even when detected early.
  • Audiogram: To screen for hearing loss.
  • Breast Self Exam: Very important to check for lumps at their earliest stage.
  • Testiclar Self Exam: To find lumps in their earliest stages.
  • Skin Self Exam: To look for sign of changing moles, freckles or early skin cancer.
  • Glaucoma Check: To measure pressure in the eyes.
  • Flu (Influenza) Vaccine: To prevent Influenza.
  • Pneumonia Vaccine: Prevents the most common pneumonia.
  • Hepatitis B Vaccine: Prevents Hepatitis B, which can become chronic.
