Our team of professionals will provide the following medical procedures:
- Weekly weight and blood pressure check

and other health indicators
- Occasional electrocardiogram (EKG) to check your heart
- Medication adjustments (if needed)

cholesterol. It can also reduce joint and back pain, and dramatically
improve your energy level and mood.
