Taking charge of your well-being is one of the best ways to manage your physical and mental health. One of the easiest ways to keep yourself in tip-top shape is by attending your annual physical.
After going to your annual physical with Thomas Nguyen, MD, and our team at Nguyen Medical Group in Boynton Beach, Florida, you’ll have the information and tools needed to manage your health confidently. Discover three reasons to start the new year by scheduling an annual physical.
If we don’t know how you look when you’re healthy, it’s harder to pinpoint when things go wrong. Everyone’s body is different, and by coming in before health issues arise, we get a clear picture of how you look in good health.
Important areas we measure at an annual physical include your:
We also note your overall appearance and demeanor and assess areas such as your eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and internal organs through visual and physical examination.
By checking and noting these measures annually, we can quickly note any significant changes and get to the bottom of them. We can prevent and treat problems earlier, reducing the risk of later issues.
It’s easier to maintain good health than to get healthy again after a health problem. Based on your current health baseline, we consider your current health and create a manageable plan to keep you in good health and work on areas that need improvement.
A comprehensive plan includes helping you create healthy habits for diet, exercise, sleep, and stress reduction that keep you feeling mentally and physically well. We assess the support you need to establish or maintain these habits and how we can help.
A health plan also considers current health concerns and family history of illness. We recommend medication or more frequent or earlier health screenings, depending on these needs.
We also ensure you receive all recommended vaccines and screenings for your age group through a comprehensive plan.
An annual physical isn’t just a series of health assessments. It’s also a yearly opportunity for a two-way conversation about your wellness between you and your clinician.
Many people have general health questions or concerns that don’t seem serious or urgent enough to warrant a separate appointment. The annual physical is the perfect time to bring these up.
Our team members will also ask you about your overall health and lifestyle, including any changes you’ve noticed. It’s essential to answer these as comprehensively as possible.
Most importantly, we want to get to know you and ensure you feel comfortable with us during your annual exams. This way, if you ever need more treatment or appointments, we’ll be better able to serve you and help you feel your best.
If you’re due for your annual physical, there’s no better time than the beginning of the year to schedule it. Contact us to make an appointment.
