Have You Had a Wellness Check Lately? | AFC Urgent Care Memphis

Think about this for a minute: You take your car in for regular maintenance checks at the mechanic. So, shouldn’t you take even better care of yourself?

Regular checkups are vitally important for ensuring your health is on the right track. And at AFC Urgent Care Memphis, we make getting a checkup easy. We’re open seven days a week, with no appointments required.

Make Time for Your Health

Life is busy. With work and family life, it is very easy to let our own health fall by the wayside.

However, you need your best health to perform at your best—both at work and at home. An annual checkup helps make sure you’re at your best, or makes suggestions or changes to get you there.

During your annual physical exam, both vital signs and bloodwork will be taken to ensure your numbers are where they need to be for optimal health.

Vital signs taken include essentials such as:

• Blood pressure
• Heart rate
• Temperature
• Respiration rate

During the physical exam, blood work and vital signs can give your physician an idea of where your physical health lies and what can be done if anything reads off, such as high blood pressure or a higher-than-normal blood glucose.

Many times lifestyle modifications and medication can get you back on the right track with your health!

Need a Physical?

While you should have an annual well-person checkup, there are also other occasions when physicals or exams might be needed. Some other types of medical checkups include:

• Sports
• Summer Camp
• Back-to-School
• Pre-Employment
• DOT
• INS

If you need a last-minute physical at any time, just stop by our urgent care center so that our team can take care of you!
