Am I a candidate for minor procedures?

To find out if you need a minor procedure, your Colorado Springs Family Practice specialist asks about your medical history, lifestyle, and symptoms. They check your vital signs, complete a physical exam, and may order lab tests, on-site X-rays, or other imaging procedures to diagnose the type of illness, injury, or disease you may have. 

What should I expect during my treatment?

What you can expect during minor procedures depends on the type of treatment that you receive. Your provider’s priority is avoiding any pain. They numb the treatment area prior to completing minor procedures and offer a sedative to help you relax.

They remove or repair injured or diseased tissues to reduce your risk of infection, pain, and other complications. If necessary, your primary care specialist uses sutures to close any incisions. 

What happens after minor procedures?

After minor procedures, you might be able to resume normal activities. Other times, you must take the rest of the day off from work to rest. Keep the treatment area clean, take medications if your provider asks you to, and avoid strenuous activities unless given the okay.

Attend follow-up appointments, if needed, at Colorado Springs Family Practice and call the office if you experience new or worsening symptoms.
