We are seeing a growing demand for health check-ups at our clinic as patients seek to take control of their health and prevent illnesses from developing.
Many people have become more health-conscious and knowledgeable about their health, which is a significant development and encouragement for us in healthcare. A significant part of taking care of ourselves involves regular check-ups, whether through physical examinations or diagnostic testing.
Why are routine health check-ups important?
The reason testing is so important is that many illnesses do not exhibit any symptoms and are not noticeable until they have become severe. For example, you won’t know you have high cholesterol until you, unfortunately, have a heart attack or stroke.
You might not pick up diabetes until very late because the symptoms can be quiet, from tiredness to going to the toilet more often, for example. This is also true of sexually transmitted infections such as chlamydia and gonorrhoea.
The best way to ensure you maintain your health is through regular check-ups.
I want to have a check-up, but I’m worried about the results
This is such a common worry! Our advice is that even if some of the results are initially upsetting, it’s always best to face the music. We know it’s easy to bury our heads in the sand and hope for the best. But knowing is always better than not knowing; the sooner you know, the better.
Many findings, such as high cholesterol or pre-diabetes, can be addressed with minor lifestyle changes or a simple daily pill, so nipping these in the bud is a great way to prevent things from worsening. You’ve got this! It’s worth it.
I’ve let myself go a bit & hate doctors pointing that out
Oh, we know! Nothing worse than a doctor who tells you what you already know! We all go through different chapters in our health cycles, and we understand that. Our health can shift if we’ve been through a rough or stressful period, or if we’ve been overworked and unable to exercise. A health check-up is designed to give us peace of mind and support us in adopting healthy habits with the knowledge we need to make a positive difference in the future.
Can I have a full head-to-toe check-up with you?
Absolutely! We have designed Wellman and Wellwoman health screenings that give you an excellent overview of your body’s systems and functions. These comprehensive and advanced health check-ups are ideal for understanding how everything is going and examining your lifestyle and symptoms in detail.
There are numerous great benefits to these health screenings – take a look at our website or speak with our team, who would be happy to discuss your options with you.
What if I want to check my blood pressure & have a blood test?
Definitely! Some of our patients come in regularly for a quick blood test, such as our full blood profile, to monitor their markers and track their progress, or to use our medical-grade blood pressure monitors.
We are here for you, however you need us. Health check-ups can range from very simple to very involved, and we can assist you with all of them.
For more information or to book in, give us a call or book online. We’re proud of you for taking this vital step toward your health and well-being.
