Why Do I Need a Physical Exam?

Even though you might be healthy, a physical exam ensures that you stay that way. Routine physicals are essential, even if you feel just fine. Many chronic issues take years to develop and become critical and could be avoided by regular monitoring.

Frequent physicals at Prestige Medical Care help detect the onset of diseases and therefore prevent them from becoming more serious. Additionally, you might need a physical exam when you enrol in a new physical activity, start a new job, or for immigration purposes.

Medical exams let your doctor—and you:

Evaluate your health and well-being.
Make recommendations on how to maintain good health.
Find underlying health problems.
Update your immunizations and vaccines.
Answer questions about your health.
Verify you’re healthy enough to play sports or perform specific tasks at work.
