To maintain optimal health, it is recommended for all patients to obtain an annual physical exam, and more often for infants and children, when necessary. Physical exams are a vital part of monitoring your family’s health through regular checkups and allow our primary care physician, Dr. Tod C. Heldridge, to diagnose and treat conditions in their early stages and prevent possible diseases from occurring. Dr. Heldridge also performs exams for patients who require clearance for work, school, sports, or other certifications. If necessary, medications and referrals may be prescribed during your visit. Dr. Heldridge and his compassionate staff care about your overall well-being and look forward to working with you. Contact Abundant Family Care in Southlake, TX today to schedule an appointment.
What Should I Expect At A Physical Exam?
When you come for your physical exam, Dr. Heldridge will measure your vitals, examine your throat, nose, and ears, and listen to your heart and lungs. If necessary, he may also check your hearing and vision while performing other general tests. Some of these other standard tests include:
- Checking for abdominal tenderness
- Neurological testing, such as coordination, reflexes, and strength
- Assess flexibility, mobility, and posture
- Medication review
- Management of chronic conditions
After performing an initial assessment, Dr. Heldridge will determine any additional examinations that may be necessary to perform during your physical examination. Physical exams can also include labwork, further diagnostic tests, screenings, and referrals if needed.
