Annual physicals are routine medical examinations that evaluate your whole health. Like most people, you may only visit your healthcare provider when you’re sick. Although they can provide competent care to help you get well, a sick visit doesn’t allow the team to evaluate your overall health and wellness fully.
A physical is designed to assess your health from head to toe and screen for various health issues based on gender and age. It also allows you and your provider to develop a more trusting relationship that may improve your overall care.
Yes, you need a comprehensive annual physical exam every year. As noted, the purpose of the exam is to evaluate your whole health. The exam itself may identify risk factors or health issues early, so you can get the proper treatment or make any necessary lifestyle changes, so it doesn’t become a complicated, chronic health problem.
You can expect a comprehensive physical when you come in for a visit at Aseda Suboxone and Wellness. Your exam may begin with a few preliminary tests, such as:
The team may talk to you about your medical history, including the types of medications and supplements you take. This is also an excellent time to share any specific concerns you may have.
Then, your provider performs a physical exam evaluating your eyes, nose, ears, throat, heart, lungs, and internal organs. They may also request a blood and urine sample to evaluate your health further.
Depending on your age and gender, you may benefit from additional screenings such as:
After your examination, the team may talk to you about diet and lifestyle habits to support or improve your health. You may also be given routine vaccinations to protect against common contagious illnesses.
