Why is Your Annual Physical So Important?

No matter your age or health status, annual physical exams are essential to your ongoing wellness. Regular physical assessments and screenings can be pivotal in identifying and treating health issues before they worsen, as well as helpful to track your progress towards your health-related goals. If you are trying to stay healthy and it’s been a while since your last annual physical, here are some reasons to consider scheduling one: 

Assessing Your Overall Health: We will conduct a thorough physical exam to make sure everything looks and sounds good. We will also recommend any blood tests or screenings that you might need based on your age, lifestyle, and family history. 
Updating Medical Records: A lot can change in the course of a year. Checking in with your doctor once a year is the best way to keep us updated on any changes to your medications, allergies, mental health, lifestyle, and more.
Updating Vaccinations: Vaccines are for everyone! Adults need to keep up to date with their latest vaccinations just like children do. We will review your vaccination history and risk factors during your annual physical and can recommend which immunizations are right for you. 

Screening: Keeping up to date with your cancer screenings can increase your chances of detecting cancer in its earliest, most treatable stages. We will consider your age, family history, and risk factors to determine which cancer screenings are right for you.

Building a Relationship: Your doctor is your primary care provider and your partner as you pursue good health. An annual physical is a great environment to ask questions and build trust with your doctor. This also helps us get to know you, which puts us in a better position to give you good advice!
