Tertiary prevention aims to help people manage complicated, long-term health problems such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and chronic musculoskeletal pain. Referring a client with a neuromuscular disease to a vocational rehabilitation program is an example of tertiary prevention, as it helps the client manage the disease's impact on their life, particularly in terms of employment and daily functioning.
