What will happen during a wellness evaluation?
During a wellness evaluation, it is likely that you will be given a wellness questionnaire to gauge how you are feeling about your personal health. This type of questionnaire helps in determining one’s overall well-being. It may include questions regarding diet, exercise, underlying conditions, or specific lifestyle choices. It helps to assess your quality of health and how it may be improved upon.
Wellness evaluations will also include screenings to make sure everything is functioning properly. The screenings you undergo will be dependent upon your lifestyle and may include:
- Heart Health Screenings. To measure heart health, several vitals will be measured, including blood pressure, body weight, blood glucose, and your fasting lipoprotein profile (cholesterol). Certain lifestyle activities will also be taken into account, such as your level of physical activity, diet, and whether or not you’re a heavy drinker or smoker. Heart health screenings help to identify risk factors when it comes to your cardiovascular health, and to manage your health-related behaviors. Heart health screenings can help lower your risk of developing cardiovascular disease.
- Injury Screenings. Do you have a nagging pain that you can’t seem to shake? Are you an athlete who is nervous about getting injured? Do you simply want to make sure your risk of injury is at its lowest? Injury screenings can help with both diagnosing injuries and determining your risk of becoming injured. With an injury screening, your range of motion, strength, and flexibility will be measured, in order to determine the nature of your injury and/or your risk of becoming injured in the future.
- Concussion Screenings. Concussion screenings are especially important for athletes competing in high-impact sports or patients who have been involved in a recent collision (such as a car accident or unexpected fall). Concussion screenings assess the cervical spine, vestibular system, and oculomotor functions, in order to make sure that everything is functioning as intended and to treat if necessary.
