What Is An Annual Physical?
Annual physical exams are a key part of staying on top of your health. These visits give our team at Atlantic Physicians Group a chance to check in on how you're doing overall, even if you aren't feeling sick. Beyond simply measuring your vitals, an annual physical checkup includes a full review of your health history, lifestyle, risk factors, and any new symptoms or challenges you may be experiencing. Regular physical exams are especially valuable for catching small issues early before they become bigger problems. If you're overdue, we invite you to schedule your next annual physical exam at our Brooklyn, NY practice.
What Is Included in An Annual Physical Exam?
We'll start your visit by checking your weight, blood pressure, heart rate, and other vital signs. We'll also review your medical history, current medications, and any recent changes you might have noticed in your health. Depending on your age, health risks, and personal history, your physical checkup may also include lab work, blood tests, vaccinations, or screenings for common concerns (such as cholesterol and blood sugar). Finally, we'll talk about your day-to-day lifestyle, including sleep habits, stress, and diet. At every stage, we invite you to bring up any questions or concerns you have so you can make the most informed decisions about your health.
What Are the Benefits of Annual Physical Exams?
A physical exam is different from a standard medical visit in that it offers a proactive approach to managing your well-being. Regular physical checkups provide a number of benefits for your health, including:
- Early detection of health issues before symptoms appear
- Ongoing tracking of vital signs, labs, and health trends
- Time to review medications and adjust as needed
- Preventive screenings based on age and risk factors
- Vaccinations and routine lab work in one visit
- A space to discuss stress, sleep, nutrition, or mental health
- Personalized advice to support long-term wellness
- A stronger connection with your provider over time
