The Benefits of Regular Wellness Check-Ups: Why Prevention is Key
Most people only see a doctor when something feels wrong, but by then, it may be too late. In healthcare there are three levels of prevention. Without getting too much in the weeds of it, the first level, primary prevention, includes regular wellness check-ups. They are a key part of living a long and healthy life.
What is a Wellness Check-Up?
Wellness check-ups are a form of preventative healthcare where you can get a full physical and mental assessment. This allows your provider to catch any health complications early.
A typical wellness check-up at Two Roads Wellness Clinic® will be 30 minutes to an hour long. Your provider will get your vitals, go over labs, perform a physical exam, a basic mental assessment, and routine screenings for severe health complications like cancer.
At Two Roads Wellness Clinic® your check-up is tailored to you personally and to the things you want to focus on. If you want, we can even give you a DNA test that can list your genetic health risk factors.
How Can Early Detection with a Wellness Check-Up Save Lives?
Early detection of health complications saves lives because early detection is very important for addressing cancers and chronic conditions. Catching cancer early can make treatment much easier, faster, and more successful. Certain chronic conditions like diabetes can have many harmful physiological effects on the body. So catching it early is important in minimizing those harmful effects. Knowing your current health status also provides peace of mind.
Mental & Emotional Health Benefits
Routine wellness check-ups can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. It gives you a chance to talk about your mental health with your provider, and they can provide you with resources to help you.
At Two Roads Wellness Clinic® you can find a therapist right down the hall from your medical provider, making the referral of care comfortable and seamless.
Lifestyle Guidance & Preventive Counseling
Your provider can help guide and teach you preventative practices that help your physical and mental health. As well as simple assessments you can perform on yourself at home. Our providers can tailor wellness goals based on your personal risk factors. That includes diet, activity routines, and supplement/medication regimens to treat you — the patient — as a whole person, not just the most immediate and evident health issues you might have.
