Proactive Healthcare = Mindful Healthcare

Proactive healthcare, also known as preventive healthcare, is the approach of taking care of your health and wellness before symptoms or diseases appear. When you wait for symptoms, like pain, to appear, you are practicing reactive healthcare — and adding a lot of undo stress to your life. Getting a diagnosis of life-threatening disease can be extremely stressful.  

Proactive healthcare empowers you to adopt a preventive mindset so you can avoid hearing diagnoses like “you have cancer” or ”you have heart disease“ or even ”you have only six months to live.” With proactive healthcare, you will likely experience better health outcomes and minimal to no disruption to your quality of life. 

At the heart of proactive healthcare is early detection. CT scans offer early detection by finding small health problems before they unfold into larger, hard-to-manage diseases. 

Mental Health Benefits of CT Scans 

One unexpected benefit of CT scans that isn’t discussed much is the mental health benefits. Many Craft Body Scan patients comment about increased peace of mind following their heart and lung scan or full body scan. Here are just a few of their testimonials: 

“Thankfully the results of my scan were good and certainly gave me peace of mind.” — Jerry Schenck 

“Best scan that has happened to me! They found stuff that wouldn’t be detected until too late. So glad my wife and I signed up. Everybody should have one done for their own peace of mind.” — Paul Meda 

“This is an easy and valuable step for early detection of potential health issues. The staff made it extremely comfortable and stress-free, and I greatly appreciated the detailed results and explanations. It has brought my wife and me peace of mind.” — Paul Connelly 

Proactive Healthcare Supports Improved Quality of Life 

Proactive healthcare helps individuals maintain a higher quality of life. By addressing health concerns early, individuals can avoid the mental and physical impact of treatment, such as invasive surgery, chemotherapy and radiation. 

Proactive Healthcare Can Reduce Your Healthcare Costs 

There’s often a major financial burden that comes with treating and managing late-stage diseases. Financial strain can cause stress and anxiety to patients. However, early intervention can significantly reduce healthcare costs associated with treating life-threatening health conditions like cancer or heart disease. Preventive measures are generally less expensive than the long-term treatment required for complex or advanced-stage health problems.

Proactive Health Supports Stronger Relationships 

Health issues often strain personal relationships. That’s why we recommend couples to come in together for their heart and lung scan. When you adopt a proactive approach with your spouse or partner, you‘re more likely to adopt necessary lifestyle changes to improve your health, while supporting each other’s healthy habits. 

How Craft Body Scan Promotes Proactive Healthcare and Early Detection Awareness 

Educating the public about early detection and preventive health is crucial. The mission of Craft Body Scan’s awareness programs is to help individuals recognize how important it is to catch life-threatening diseases early. We want people to know you don’t have to sit and wait for pain and symptoms to occur before taking action. 

Encouraging Healthy Aging 

Physical health and mental health are intertwined. Regular exercise, a balanced diet, quality sleep and proactive healthcare can significantly improve mental well-being. Together, these four lifestyle choices can act as preventive measures against health problems. Less health problems can often mean less worry. 

Mental Health Is Total Body Health 

Just as regular physical check-ups are essential, so are early detection check-ups. Visits to get your CT scan can help identify early signs of health issues, allowing for timely intervention and enhanced peace of mind.  

Don’t ignore the mental health benefits of a preventive mindset. After a body scan, most patients report feeling increased comfort and relief, and less worry. A scan can ease your concerns about conditions that could be hiding. It also can ease your mind to receive a clean bill of health. We highly recommend a body scan to anyone who’s wanting extra peace of mind.
