What are physicals?

Physicals at Rapid Response Urgent Care are medical examinations in which your urgent care specialist evaluates your overall health. They look for signs of illness, diseases, injuries, or other conditions and develop appropriate treatment plans when needed to ensure long-lasting health outcomes. The compassionate experts also provide vaccines and other preventive care services.

What are the benefits of physicals?

Physicals at Rapid Response Urgent Care allow your specialist to detect and treat diseases and their risk factors, reducing the risk of a heart attack, stroke, and other potentially life-threatening concerns. Physicals also offer an opportunity for preventive care, including vaccinations, medical weight loss, and nutrition and exercise counseling.

What happens during physicals?

Physicals begin by weighing you and checking your blood pressure and pulse. Your specialist discusses your medical history, including your medications, diagnoses, lifestyle, family history of disease, and symptoms you may have.

They may complete vision and hearing screenings, drug testing if necessary, and look for signs of injuries, illnesses, or chronic diseases. 

Rapid Response Urgent Care offers lab and X-ray services whenever necessary to detect potential problems or determine how well you’re managing a chronic disease.

Rapid Response Urgent Care provides vaccinations that protect you against contracting an illness or disease or having severe symptoms. You or your child may require vaccines for school or work. 

If you need a completed physical form for school, work, or sports, your Rapid Response Urgent Care provider fills out the required paperwork. They determine if you need further diagnostic testing or treatment and answer any questions you may have about your health and well-being. 

How often should I schedule a physical?

Unless otherwise instructed by your provider, schedule a physical on a yearly basis. You might need work, sports, or school physicals once a year in addition to or in place of annual physicals. 

You can also see the Rapid Response Urgent Care team whenever you feel ill, become injured, experience new or unusual symptoms, or need preventive care services or onsite labs.
