Primary Care Q & A
What is primary care?
Primary care diagnoses, treats, and prevents acute and chronic illnesses. In addition, it provides preventive screenings, laboratory testing, immunizations, prescription medication, and referrals to specialists when necessary.
Building a relationship with your primary care physician is a great idea. Routine checkups and exams can alert you to potentially serious issues early on when they’re easiest to treat.
What services does primary care provide?
At Capital Health & Clinics, the team offers a variety of primary care services, including:
Annual physical
An annual physical assesses your physical and neurological health. It presents an opportunity to ask your provider questions or discuss unusual symptoms you’re experiencing.
Wellness exam
A wellness exam is a checkup catered specifically to you. It involves age and gender-specific screenings, such as pelvic and breast exams or a prostate exam.
Laboratory testing
Laboratory testing analyzes samples of your bodily fluids, like urine, blood, or saliva. It’s a safe and effective way to diagnose issues invisible to the naked eye, including vitamin deficiencies or hormonal imbalances.
Immunizations
Immunizations teach your immune system to identify and eliminate harmful invaders like viruses and bacteria. The type of immunizations you need depends on several factors, including your age, medical history, and profession.
Diagnostic imaging
Diagnostic imaging uses advanced technologies, like X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed tomography (CT) to capture photographs of your hard and soft tissues. It’s a quick and convenient way to diagnose issues like sprains, fractures, or dislocated joints.
Prescription medication
Certain medical conditions require the use of prescription medication. Your Capital Health & Clinics provider can write you a prescription or provide refills if needed.
Referrals to specialists
The team at Capital Health & Clinics treats most acute and chronic conditions, but if you need more specialized care, they can refer you to other providers in the area.
Do I still need primary care if I feel healthy?
Yes. Even if you feel healthy, it’s important to invest in primary care at least once a year. Regular visits to Capital Health & Clinics can alert you to issues like hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol when they’re easiest to treat.
