What are physicals?

Physicals at StrongURCare are medical evaluations that can diagnose injuries, illnesses, and disease complications. They’re an effective way to determine whether you need treatment and which treatment is best suited to your needs. The StrongURCare experts care for babies, children, teenagers, and adults in a state-of-the-art facility offering highly advanced, superior care.

What happens during physicals?

Physicals at StrongURCare often begin with an evaluation of your vital signs, including your pulse, temperature, and blood pressure. Your provider discusses the reason for your appointment and your medical history, symptoms, lifestyle, and medications, both prescription and over-the-counter.

During a physical exam, your specialist will evaluate your eyes, throat, ears, breathing, heart rate, and more. You might be a candidate for one or more of the following diagnostic tests:

• Throat culture
• Nasal swab
• Biopsy
• Urinalysis
• Blood work
• Heart-function tests
• Lung-function tests
• X-rays, a CT scan, or another imaging procedure

The tests you might need will depend on your symptoms. These tests help pinpoint the condition you have, its severity, and how best to treat it.

On-site diagnostic testing, including in-house CT scans, offers added convenience for StrongURCare patients.
