Migraine Management

Migraines are a neurological condition that can cause much more than head pain. Depending on the individual, symptoms may include sinus pain, motion sickness, imbalance, nausea, dizziness, fatigue, sensitivity to light and sound, visual disturbances and severe, throbbing headaches. Lasting anywhere from a few hours to several days, migraines can interfere with work, hobbies and everyday activities.

At Atreus Medical & Surgical Associates, we take a whole-person approach to chronic condition management. Our migraine team will take the time to understand your symptoms, discuss potential triggers and work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan. Our goal is to help reduce the frequency and severity of your migraines so you can spend less time managing symptoms and more time enjoying life.

COPD

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive lung condition that causes inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it increasingly difficult to breathe. Symptoms such as shortness of breath, chronic cough, wheezing and fatigue can affect nearly every aspect of daily life.

Managing COPD requires ongoing chronic condition management and a treatment plan tailored to your needs. Dr. Stenbit will take the time to understand your symptoms, evaluate your lung function and recommend strategies to help you breathe more comfortably. From medication management to lifestyle recommendations and long-term monitoring, we are committed to helping you maintain your health and quality of life. Our goal is to help you stay active, manage symptoms effectively and continue doing the things that matter most to you.

Interstitial Lung Disease

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) refers to a group of conditions that cause inflammation and scarring within the lungs. While symptoms and severity can vary, many people experience a persistent cough, shortness of breath and unexplained fatigue that gradually worsen over time.

If breathing difficulties are limiting your daily activities, Dr. Stenbit can help. She will perform a thorough evaluation, listen carefully to your symptoms and concerns and work to identify the underlying cause of your condition. Once a diagnosis is made, she will develop a personalized chronic condition management plan focused on your symptoms, supporting lung function and helping you maintain the best possible quality of life.

Asbestos Exposure, Evaluation & Treatment

Asbestosis is a chronic lung disease caused by past exposure to asbestos fibers. Over time, these fibers can lead to scarring within the lungs, making it more difficult to breathe. Common symptoms include shortness of breath, a persistent dry cough, chest discomfort and reduced exercise tolerance. Because the disease develops gradually, many people do not notice symptoms until years after their exposure occurred.

Managing asbestosis requires ongoing chronic condition management to preserve lung function and maintain quality of life. Dr. Stenbit will perform a thorough evaluation, discuss your symptoms and medical history and develop a personalized treatment plan based on your needs. From chronic condition management and pulmonary function testing to oxygen therapy recommendations and long-term follow-up, we are committed to helping you breathe comfortably and stay active in your daily life.
