What Happens at a Physical?

How the doctors in  Wichita Falls, TX, can help with a physical

Check your vision–your vision has to be at least 20/40 in both eyes, with or without corrective glasses. You must also be able to distinguish between different colors in order to pass the exam.

Check your hearing–you must be able to hear a “forced whisper” from less than five feet away, with or without hearing aids.

Check your blood pressure and pulse rate–these measurements are a good indication of overall health, and your ability to perform a job which requires long hours and staying seated for long periods of time.

Lab testing–this includes a urinalysis to check for underlying medical conditions which require treatment.

A comprehensive physical examination is also part of your physical. Your doctor will check your:

• General appearance, including weight, tremors, or drug/alcohol indications
• Mouth and throat, including breathing and swallowing
• Chest and lungs, including respiration
• Abdomen and organs, including any hernias or masses
• Vascular system, including pulse, and blood flow
• Extremities, including injury, damage, or weakness
• Skeletal system, including tenderness or limitation of motion
• Nervous system, including speech, reflexes, and balance
