Why Do I Need a Physical Exam?
A lot of people will go their whole lives having never received a physical exam outside of the yearly checkup with their family doctor. However, there are times when a physical exam is warranted, especially if you are participating in a sport or another type of physical activity.
We provide pre-participation examinations for those looking to join a new sport or activity. We can also provide physical exams when required for work, such as for police officers or firefighters. If you have been in an accident, we can provide a physical exam to assess any injuries you may have sustained. No matter what your needs are, we can help you stay healthy and prevent future injury by catching it early!
What to Expect During Your Physical Exam
When you come in for a physical exam at Align Sport & Spine, the first thing our team will do is collect your medical history. We will ask about any previous injuries or illnesses, as well as any medications you are currently taking. We will also take your height and weight to get an idea of your body mass index (BMI).
Next, we will conduct a series of tests to assess your flexibility, strength, and range of motion. We may also use special equipment to test your heart rate, blood pressure, and respiration. Once we have all the information we need, our team will work with you to develop a personalized physical fitness plan.
This plan will be based on your unique needs and goals. We will help you set realistic goals and create a schedule that works for you. We will also provide guidance on how to safely and effectively reach your goals.
Whether you are an athlete or not, there are many benefits to having a physical exam. Physical exams can help identify underlying health conditions that you may not be aware of. They can also help you develop a plan to improve your overall fitness and prevent future injury.
If you are an athlete, physical exams are especially important. They can help you identify areas of weakness that need to be addressed. They can also help you prevent injuries by catching problems early.
