What are annual physicals?

Annual physicals are medical exams that detect or rule out possible health concerns. Scheduling physicals each year is the best way to maintain exceptional health and wellness. You might also need a physical because of your job, enrolling in school, or playing sports. 

What should I expect during annual physicals?

During annual physicals at San Antonio Premier Internal Medicine, your provider often completes the following:

Vital signs check

Your San Antonio Premier Internal Medicine provider weighs you, assesses your body mass index (BMI), and checks your blood pressure, pulse, and other vital signs. They measure the head circumference of babies and young children and assess the growth and development of kids of all ages.

Medical history review

During a medical history review, your San Antonio Premier Internal Medicine provider asks about your medication regimen, personal and family history of the disease, symptoms you may have, and your lifestyle habits. 

Physical exam

Your primary care specialist evaluates your eyes, throat, breathing, heartbeat, reflexes, and more during a physical exam. They also offer neurological exams, pelvic exams and Pap tests for women, and prostate exams for men.

Diagnostic testing

If you experience unusual symptoms or have disease risk factors, your provider may recommend urine testing, blood tests, bone scans, asthma testing, allergy testing, or other imaging tests. Your specialist also assesses developmental patterns in children and offers comprehensive psychiatric evaluations for patients at risk of mental health conditions.

Treatment

You might choose vaccines, medical weight management, birth control, or treatments for an illness, injury, or disease. Your San Antonio Premier Internal Medicine provider personalizes each treatment based on your unique needs.

When should I schedule annual physicals?

It’s a good idea to schedule annual physicals each year to ensure you’re in good health or detect possible medical problems before they turn serious. 

Children younger than three need more frequent wellness checkups to ensure they’re healthy, growing, and developing at an appropriate pace.

You can schedule an annual physical anytime you need one for sports, work, or school. Furthermore, see your San Antonio Premier Internal Medicine provider if you feel ill, develop new or unusual symptoms, or have concerns about your health.
