What should one expect during a wellness exam?

A wellness exam is a routine health check-up aimed at preventing illness and promoting overall well-being. Unlike visits for specific symptoms or conditions, wellness exams focus on proactive care, helping individuals stay on top of their health before issues arise.

During a typical wellness exam, your healthcare provider will review your medical history, lifestyle habits, and any existing concerns. Vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and weight are recorded. A physical examination is conducted to assess overall health, and age-appropriate screenings or immunizations may be recommended. These might include cholesterol tests, diabetes screenings, cancer checks, and more, depending on your age, gender, and risk factors.

Behavioral health, mental wellness, sleep patterns, nutrition, and exercise habits are also discussed, allowing your provider to give personalized advice for healthier living. For many, this visit is also a great time to ask questions and update any necessary prescriptions.
