What Does a Routine Checkup Include?

To begin, your height and weight will be taken, and then vital signs will be measured. Height, weight, and vital signs all act as a barometer of important bodily functions and provide a sort of quick snapshot of your overall health. Tracking vital signs over time, including blood pressure, pulse, body temperature, and respiration rates, are useful tools to assess your risk for numerous health conditions and chronic diseases. Before your physical exam, a family history will be taken, and you will discuss certain lifestyle choices pertaining to your health with your physician, including smoking, alcohol/drug use, sleeping patterns, sexual activity, diet and exercise. Your routine checkup at AFC Urgent Care Englewood also includes a head-to-toe physical exam.

The Importance of Routine Checkups

Routine checkups are important for everyone, no matter their age. Many jobs require physicals to ensure that employees are in good shape to carry out their duties. Many people also elect to have them done when they notice something seems wrong or different, or simply because it's been a year.

Your regular doctor is probably the first place you go when you’re in need of a Routine checkup, and that works well for lots of people. Keeping your medical records updated with your doctor allows them to better prescribe medication and monitor any changes to your history. However, what happens when you need to be seen quickly and the doctor's office can't work you into the schedule? That's where AFC Urgent Care Englewood comes in.

Why Do I Need a Routine Checkup if I Feel Fine?

If you wonder why a physical exam is necessary, you’re not alone. The fact is, many diseases are “silent killers," which gradually manifest symptoms. These diseases, such as heart disease or Type 2 diabetes, are best treated in their early stages. A Routine checkup can help keep you informed of your overall health and what you can do to ensure you stay as healthy as possible.
