PHYSICALS Q&A

What are physicals?

Physicals, or physical exams, are doctor appointments dedicated solely to monitoring the many dimensions of your health. You should get them somewhat regularly, with increased frequency to once per year as you near age 50. You may also be asked to get a physical exam as a requirement for work, school, or an activity.

 

Physical exams help you identify the parts of your health that need extra attention and care. At Convenient Care Clinic, LLC, Jeremy can also recognize early signs of health complications and diseases and start treating you for them early.

What will my physical include?

Your physical exam starts with a few questions about your medical history, lifestyle, and any symptoms you’re experiencing. It’s also a chance for you to ask Jeremy any questions about your health that have come up since your last appointment. He records your weight and height, then gives you tests to see how your body is functioning. He tests your:

  • Blood pressure
  • Breathing
  • Heart rate
  • Reflexes
  • Vision

If your family has a history of a certain disease, like diabetes, he also tests you for that. If you’re experiencing unusual symptoms, he may send your blood to a lab for additional screening. After all of the measurements and tests, Jeremy suggests natural ways to improve your lifestyle – like nutritional guidance and exercise recommendations.

What types of physicals are available?

At Convenient Care Clinic, LLC, Jeremy offers several types of physicals, including:

 

Annual wellness exams

Over the course of your life, you should get physical exams somewhat regularly. After age 50, it’s important for you to get a physical every year. Your health could change at any time, and annual wellness exams allow you to stay knowledgeable about your current state of well-being.

 

Department of Transportation exams

The DOT dictates that all their employees get physical exams to ensure it’s safe for them to be on the roads. You’ll need to get a physical once every two years or more often if an aspect of your health, like your blood pressure, needs consistent monitoring.
