Physicals Q & A
What are physicals?
Physicals, or physical exams, are detailed examinations from your primary care provider or any other qualified professional. The team at Innovative Medical Clinic has the necessary training to give you a head-to-toe physical and a report of your overall health.
When you come in for a physical exam at Innovative Medical Clinic, the team performs a series of simple tests and compares your results to your prior medical history. They may recommend more intensive testing like imaging tests for more information on your health and functioning (depending on their findings).
A physical allows you to be more in touch with your health and identify needs you didn’t realize you had. Toward the end of your visit, the team offers personalized advice for staying healthy.
