What Is a Physical Exam?
Physicals prevent serious health problems and include an evaluation by a medical professional and a consultation about any health concerns. If medical concerns arise, there may be a need for additional care including diagnostic imaging and/or urinalysis. Physicals assure patients that there are no underlying health problems to worry about. A physician will tailor the exam to every patient’s unique health history, medical needs, and exam findings.
A Health Choice medical provider will begin the exam with a physical assestsment. This includes an evaluation of the:
- Heart
- Lungs
- Reflexes
- Abdomen
- Skin and Nails
- Vital Signs (Pulse, Heart Rate, Respiration, Temperature)
- Height and Weight
Depending on the type of physical exam it could also include:
- Diagnostic Testing: EKG, Vision Test, Drug and Alcohol Testing
- Health History: The physician will review past health history and current medications
- Tuberculosis (TB) Screening
Sports & Camp Physicals
For kids and teens, physicals are often required for participation in school, sports, and camp. Screening for pre-existing injuries, illnesses, and other health conditions is important preventative care. Physicals not only satisfy prerequisites for participation but also act as a safety precaution. If there is a medical condition that causes a predisposition to injuries or susceptibility to illness, it should be treated immediately. To protect the health of athletes, students, and campers, Health Choice provides convenient physical exams 7 days per week.
