What Your Annual Wellness Exam Reveals About Your Health
Whether you’re in great health or managing a few ongoing medical concerns, an annual wellness exam provides vital information for both you and your care team. Regularly updating your health record each year creates a clear picture of your well-being over time, ensuring better long-term health outcomes.
At Living Water Clinic, our primary care physician, Dr. Jerry Neria, along with our dedicated team, offers comprehensive wellness exams for both new and existing patients. Whether you’re dealing with chronic conditions or typically in good health, regular exams are key to staying on top of your whole-body wellness.
So, what can your annual checkup reveal? Let’s dive into how yearly wellness exams at Living Water Clinic’s locations in Porterville, Lindsay, Visalia, and Woodlake, California, keep you and your medical team informed and empowered.
What You Learn from Your Annual Wellness Exam
Everyone needs regular wellness exams—yes, everyone! These yearly checkups are an opportunity for you and your doctor to get a complete picture of your current health and address any concerns. It’s a two-way conversation: a time to ask questions and update your medical history with the guidance of your Living Water Clinic provider.
During your exam, our team carefully investigates any symptoms or potential health issues you may be experiencing. We’ll take vital signs like blood pressure, heart rate, and weight, and update your medical history with any new symptoms, diagnoses, medications, or supplements you’ve started. Your physical examination includes checking your ears, eyes, throat, and listening to your heart and lungs.
But that’s not all—additional screenings and tests may be recommended. These screenings can detect early warning signs of conditions like high cholesterol, diabetes, thyroid disorders, or nutritional deficiencies. If needed, we’ll also perform biopsies and imaging procedures to catch potential issues early, giving you a head start on treatment.
Your annual wellness visit is also a great time to stay on top of preventive care. From vaccinations and counseling to remote patient monitoring and prescriptions, we’ll make sure you have all the tools you need to maintain your health.
The Benefits of Regular Wellness Exams
When you make annual wellness exams a priority, you’re investing in your long-term quality of life. These checkups allow our primary care team at Living Water Clinic to catch symptoms early, track your health over time, and connect you with the right medical expertise when needed.
Most people benefit from an annual exam, but depending on your health needs, more frequent visits might be recommended. Even if you’re feeling great, an annual checkup provides peace of mind and ensures you’re proactively managing your health.
Living Water Clinic also offers specialized wellness exams, including physicals for work, sports, and school. If you need specific paperwork completed for an employer, school, or team, our caring staff will ensure you’re ready to go.
While exams like women’s health checkups are essential, we typically recommend an annual wellness exam that focuses on your overall health. This ensures that every aspect of your well-being is covered.
