What are annual checkups?
Annual checkups, also called yearly wellness visits, are preventive medical appointments that allow your doctor to monitor changes in your health from one year to the next. You schedule these visits annually, even if you feel fine and have no underlying medical problems.
Restoration Primary Care PLLC, offers annual checkups for adults and adolescents 12 and older. The providers take a whole-person approach to evaluating your health and wellness to ensure that you’re functioning optimally.
They assess your general health, screen for chronic disease, and provide educational information you can use to improve your physical, emotional, and mental well-being.
Why do I need annual checkups?
An annual checkup identifies the early warning signs of chronic diseases before they affect your health.
The medical providers assess your wellness needs based on your age, personal and family medical histories, and current health. Bloodwork, blood pressure checks, and other diagnostic screenings are available in the office so that you get your results without delays.
By identifying chronic health problems like high blood pressure (hypertension), high cholesterol (hyperlipidemia), and Type 2 diabetes early, you can begin treatment right away. Treatment is typically most effective in the early stages of an illness or disease and significantly reduces your risk for more complex health problems.
What happens during annual checkups?
The providers review your health history during your annual checkup at Restoration Primary Care PLLC. They ask about your lifestyle and diet and will address your concerns about your health.
Your provider completes a physical exam to assess your:
- Heart rate
- Lung health
- Blood pressure
- Joint flexibility
- Body temperature
Your provider discusses immunizations you need to protect against contagious diseases like the seasonal flu, pneumonia, tetanus, and hepatitis. Educational resources are also available to help you improve your health through diet, exercise, and other lifestyle habits.
If your wellness exam reveals existing health problems, the providers will request more diagnostic tests or refer you to a specialist for more advanced care.
