What are physical exams?
Physical exams are a time for you and your child to get necessary preventive care. It’s important to visit your primary care provider for routine care even when you’re not ill or injured. This helps ensure you receive the health screenings and treatments necessary to prevent illnesses and chronic diseases.
Your practitioner detects potential health issues before they worsen. Early intervention is often the best way to prevent complications. Annual exams check if you’re current on immunizations that protect you from devastating consequences, as well.
AT AGP Family Health Clinic, your provider can also perform sports or school physicals and fill out paperwork, allowing you or your child to participate in activities with optimal health.
What do physical exams involve?
Your provider performs a thorough physical and review of your overall health. This may include:
Hearing and vision screenings
It’s not always obvious when your child has problems with their hearing or vision. Basic screenings determine if your child might need to visit a specialist.
Growth and development
Your practitioner may compare your child’s growth and development with the generally accepted range for their age to check for delays.
Immunizations
Physical exams also involve a review of your immunization records. If you or your child need to update your vaccination status, your provider can determine which ones you’ll need at your physical.
Chronic disease screenings
You may need chronic disease screenings for conditions like asthma and diabetes. If you have one or more of these conditions, AGP Family Health Clinic offers chronic disease management so you can live a healthy, normal life.
Behavioral health
Your provider can discuss any behavioral concerns and recommend lifestyle changes or specialist treatment to help improve your quality of life.
How often can I schedule physical exams?
AGP Family Health Clinic recommends scheduling routine physical exams annually to ensure your optimal health. However, if you have a specific health condition or need a specialized physical, you may need more frequent visits.
If you or your child are due for a physical exam, call AGP Family Health Clinic or book an appointment online today. Telemedicine consultations are also available.
