Annual Physical Examination

Why Do I Need To Get A Physical Every Year

You don't need to see your doctor if you're feeling well, right? Wel not quite! Your yearly physical is an important element of preventative care, which includes health tests that can detect problems before symptoms appear.
In addition to health tests, your yearly physical is a good time to discuss any health concerns with your doctor. They can assist with weight problems, mood swings, or that unpleasant yet persistent ache in your knee, for example.
Yes, you're busy, but taking a few minutes to assess your health and fitness will go a long way toward ensuring your long-term well-being.

What to anticipate from an annual physical examination?

When you come to our clinic, our courteous office staff will make copies of your identification and insurance card, as well as validate your address and contact information.
The clinical team will assess your weight and blood pressure. They may also collect a sample of blood or urine.
The doctor would go through your personal and family medical history and ask whether you've noticed any changes to your health or have any worries. The Dr will then touch your abdomen and listen to your heart beats and lungs, followed by eyes, throat, and ears examination as well as a reflexes test. And depending on your cse extra examination could be done.
After your physical exam, you'll be able to discuss with the doctor, options to improve your health, and help you attain and maintain a healthy weight, blood pressure and sugar level. They may advise adding physical exercise to your day or modifying your diet, depending on the exam results.
Feel free to share any other issues you have with our highly qualified doctors, as they can assist you in achieving your health goals and improve your well being.
