The Importance of Routine Checkups
Routine checkups are essential for everyone, no matter their age. Many jobs require them before you start work and/or at specific intervals 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 while.
Your regular doctor is probably the first place you go when you need a routine checkup, which works well for many 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 Raleigh Brier Creek comes in.

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 critical 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 valuable tools to assess your risk for numerous health conditions and chronic diseases. Before your physical exam, a family history will be taken. 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 Raleigh Brier Creek also includes a head-to-toe physical exam. If necessary, your provider will order some labs to see what your blood says about your health.
