Having a trusted medical resource available when you are unwell is immeasurable, but it’s also important to have someone who takes care of you when healthy. Seeing your doctor regularly is a form of preventive care. Dr. Maria Swetech in Clinton Township, Michigan, is focused on health and wellness and proudly offers preventive care so patients can achieve peace of mind, answer pressing health questions, and do whatever needs to be done to live their best life.
The Basics of Preventive Care
Preventive care includes any type of medical or health and wellness service that helps prevent emergencies. The most common preventive care categories include:
- Wellness visits. As a doctor of osteopathy, Dr. Swetech is particularly skilled at full-body wellness, looking for signs of wellness or concerns to get to the root of overall health. Visits can include general care or involve discussions about nutrition, exercise, chronic conditions, mental health, and more. Wellness visits are recommended annually to maintain a patient-provider relationship and establish a health baseline from which all symptoms or concerns can be measured.
- Physicals. Wellness visits often include a physical, which is an opportunity to gauge the strength of bodily systems. It is important for Dr. Swetech to see you at your best and your lowest. Physicals highlight areas of strength, weakness, and concern, as well as fluctuations in the body’s norm, so treatments can be implemented or further testing initiated to improve wellness or make a diagnosis.
- Immunizations. Standard immunizations are an essential part of health and wellness and preventive care. This can include flu shots, covid shots, tetanus shots, and other immunizations to prevent afflictions or lessen the effects of disease or illness.
- Screenings. Health screenings are a common part of preventive care and, depending on a patient’s age, demographic, symptoms, or genetics, Dr. Swetech may recommend a screening for any of the following: cancer, diabetes, sleep apnea, depression, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, digestive disorders, allergies, and more.

When you visit Dr. Swetech, be prepared to discuss any or all of the following circumstances as part of preventive care:
- Environment. Where do you live and work and play? Do you find yourself in airy, well-lit settings?
- Nutrition. What are your meals like? Do you eat out or cook for yourself?
- Exercise. How much do you move your body? How often?
- Lifestyle. Do you drink or use tobacco? Do you engage frequently with others in a social setting?
- Mental health. Are you chronically stressed? Are you a caregiver?
