Do I need to do anything to prepare for a physical?

Nope! Just arrive for your appointment, and we’ll walk you through the process from there.

Can a physical exam diagnose my condition?

While an exam cannot diagnose a disease on its own, it is a crucial step in the diagnostic process.

How often should I get physical exams?

Typically, you will need at least one physical per year. However, if you’re managing a chronic condition such as arthritis or diabetes, you may need more frequent visits to track changes in your symptoms.
