A proactive approach to health involves understanding and managing potential risks. Dr. Milica King provides expert care for a range of conditions, focusing on early detection and effective management to support your long-term wellness. Common areas of focus include:

• Chest Pain: Chest pain can be a sign of serious heart conditions, so seeking prompt medical attention is crucial for early detection and preventing life-threatening complications.

• Throat Pain: A sore throat, while often minor, can be a sign of an underlying infection requiring early treatment to prevent more serious complications.

• Wheezing: Regular checkups with your internist are crucial, as they allow for early detection of wheezing and the implementation of preventive strategies, minimizing the long-term impact on your respiratory system.
• Polymyositis: Understanding your risk factors for polymyositis, such as family history or certain autoimmune conditions, is crucial for proactive health management and early intervention.
• Tinnitus: Tinnitus, or ringing in the ears, may signal an underlying medical condition; addressing it promptly can prevent more serious health problems.
• Diabetic Polyneuropathy: Regular blood sugar monitoring and maintaining healthy blood sugar levels are key preventive measures against developing diabetic polyneuropathy and its debilitating effects.
• Chronic Neck Pain: Proactive management of chronic neck pain through lifestyle changes and medical interventions, guided by your internist, is crucial for preventing further complications and maintaining your overall well-being.
• Chronic Pain: Don't let chronic pain control your life. Preventative strategies can help you manage your pain and maintain an active lifestyle.
