  • Are overweight or obese
  • Have high cholesterol
  • Have high blood pressure

Are there screenings for cardiovascular disease?

Yes! The good news if you have any factors that can contribute to cardiovascular disease is that early detection is possible through modern technology. The medical practitioners at Arrowhead Physical Medicine specialize in using the TM Flow System.
