Yearly physicals, often called annual check-ups, are medical appointments where doctors check your overall health. This once-a-year visit is a chance to catch potential health issues before they become big problems. During these appointments, doctors look at everything from your heart rate and blood pressure to reflexes and joint mobility. They also discuss any concerns or changes you might have noticed about your health. Many schools and sports teams require these check-ups to make sure students and athletes are fit and healthy to participate in activities. We accept cash patients and insurance.
Yearly physicals help track your health over time, catch potential issues early, and make sure you're on track with vaccinations or other preventative measures.
They'll measure things like height, weight, blood pressure, and listen to your heart and lungs. They might also do blood tests or other exams if needed.
Most of the physical is just checking and talking. Sometimes there might be shots or blood tests, which can pinch, but it's usually quick.
It ensures that you're healthy enough for the activity and don't have any unknown health issues that could be risky.
