What are physicals?

Physicals, commonly called checkups, are regular health exams that help you keep track of your overall health. During a physical, your healthcare provider takes the time to get to know you better. They review your medical history, check your vital signs like blood pressure and heart rate, and conduct a physical exam to assess how your body is functioning.

These exams are important because they help catch potential health issues early on, which is key to effective treatment. If you have children, physicals are especially crucial for their growth and development. They provide a chance to ensure your kids are up to date on vaccinations and that they meet important developmental milestones.

Are there different types of physicals?

Lost Creek Medical offers many types of physicals, including:

Routine physical

A general physical exam is the most common type. During this checkup, your provider examines your overall health. They review your medical history, check your vital signs, and conduct a physical examination to identify any potential issues.

Sports physical

If you or your child is involved in sports, this exam assesses fitness levels and identifies any health issues that could affect performance. It ensures you’re safe to participate in physical activities.

Pre-employment physical

Many employers require a pre-employment physical as part of the hiring process. This type of exam evaluates your overall health and confirms you’re fit to perform the job’s duties. It’s an important step for starting a new job.

Annual wellness visit

An annual wellness visit focuses on preventive care. Your provider may recommend screenings and vaccinations based on your age, gender, and medical history. This visit is a great opportunity to discuss any health concerns and create a plan to maintain your well-being.

Pediatric physicals

Pediatric physicals are specifically designed for children. They involve checking growth, development, and immunizations. These exams help ensure that your child is healthy and meeting developmental milestones.

How often do I need physicals?

Most healthy adults benefit from yearly physical exams. Your provider may recommend more or less frequent visits based on your age and health status.
