Wellness Visits

What is the primary focus during wellness visits?

Providing a thorough health assessment is a central focus during wellness visits. Jackie sits down with you to discuss your health history and identify any areas of concern. An in-depth physical exam follows, in addition to the appropriate screenings for your age, sex, and overall health. 

Jackie checks your immunization record to ensure you’re up to date on the vaccines needed to keep you healthy. She also explores ways to support your mental health and covers topics like stress management, optimal nutrition, staying physically active, and getting enough restful sleep. 

There’s also time built into each wellness visit to explore any health and wellness topics you’d like more information on. Whether you’re considering adding supplements or IV therapy to your routine or want to learn more about medical weight loss, your wellness visits offer a wealth of information and guidance. 

Why come in for wellness visits if I’m not ill?

Waiting until you’re sick or injured to come into the office fails to take advantage of all that preventive health offers. Wellness visits provide a setting to evaluate your current health and search for avenues of improvement without the stress and anxiety that come with illness or injury. 

Even if you’re healthy and fit, you can take steps to enhance your quality of life and further reduce your risk of developing chronic disease. Healthy living is a process, one that requires your active participation and that benefits from partnership with a health practitioner. 

How often should I schedule wellness visits?

Most people should schedule annual wellness visits to ensure they get the screenings they need before symptoms develop. If their provider identifies an issue, early intervention can improve their chances of a positive outcome. 

Life moves fast, and having these once-a-year checkups gives you the health guidance and support you need to stay as healthy and happy as possible. Jackie also offers school physicals for teens over the age of 17.
