What Are The Typical Steps in a Physical Examination?

At Relief Urgent Care & Psychiatry, we understand that physical exams can vary based on the medical care provider and the specific needs of the patient. However, our “Physicals” service typically includes the following essential elements:

Medical History Review: A thorough review of the patient’s medical background to identify any existing conditions or risk factors.
Vital Signs Check: Monitoring key health metrics such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature.
Physical Examination: A hands-on assessment to evaluate overall health, including an inspection of the heart, lungs, abdomen, and musculoskeletal system.
Laboratory Tests: If necessary, we may recommend blood tests or other diagnostic procedures to gain a more comprehensive understanding of your health.
Preventative Health Advice: Based on the findings, our medical professionals provide guidance on how to maintain or improve health through lifestyle changes, vaccines, or screenings.
Mental Health Assessment: As part of our integrated care, we may assess mental health status to ensure overall well-being.

School Physicals

At Relief Urgent Care & Psychiatry, we offer walk-in physical exams for children starting or returning to school. To streamline your visit, please complete the “patient to complete” section on any paperwork provided by your school, state, or academic program before your arrival.

Additionally, we recommend confirming with your health insurance provider to ensure coverage for your child’s physical exam. We are here to help make this process as efficient and convenient as possible for you and your family.

Sports Physicals

A sports physical may be required when you or your child join a sports team or recreational program. Even if it’s not mandatory, it’s always a good idea to get one before starting or returning to a sport.

At Relief Urgent Care & Psychiatry, our “Physicals” service helps determine if an athlete can safely participate in their sport or recreational activity. However, it should not replace your annual physical exam. You can conveniently schedule a sports physical alongside your yearly check-up with us.

Before your appointment, make sure to fill out the “patient to complete section” on any forms provided by the sports team, school, or program.

Physicals for Work

At Relief Urgent Care & Psychiatry, we offer comprehensive physical examinations to meet various job and legal requirements. Many jobs, such as commercial or professional drivers, require individuals to fulfill Department of Transportation (DOT) physical standards. Additionally, minors under the age of 18 may need to undergo a physical examination before starting work in many states.

Before scheduling your physical appointment with us, please check with your employer or local regulations to ensure you meet the specific requirements. Be sure to bring along identification, details of any allergies or prescriptions, and your medical history to ensure a smooth and thorough examination.
