What is the Purpose of an Adult Wellness Exam?

It is important to have a regular and updated understanding of your current overall health. An annual adult wellness exam at Internal Medicine & Pediatric Clinic allows us to discover and identify any potential health issues early on, which allows us to treat those conditions before they get serious.

Adult wellness exam appointments are also a great way to directly discuss your health and any related questions or concerns with your physician. Finally, annual exams give your physician the opportunity to check your existing treatments or prescriptions for existing pain or health conditions and see if any updates are needed.

What to expect

An adult wellness exam is an important factor in maintaining your health and understanding your current overall health. An annual visit allows our expert team to discover and identify any potential health issues early on. In return, this allows our team to treat your conditions before they get too serious. 

A full physical examination follows the initial discussion, where the doctor checks various parts of your body for any abnormalities -- your lungs, heart, throat, eyes, and more. Your abdomen will be checked for any kind of pain or tenderness. If your family history has conditions such as high cholesterol or diabetes, your physician may recommend preventive screenings of those conditions. 

Preventive screenings for adults allow your physician to check and identify any medical conditions that you may have, and these are recommended and performed according to your family medical history. Some of the following conditions can be checked with preventive screenings:

  • Heart conditions
  • Cancer
  • High blood pressure
  • High cholesterol
  • Diabetes
