Physical Exam for Preventative Medicine
When was your last physical exam? Was it last year, 5 yeas ago or maybe never? A yearly physical is a great opportunity to work on preventative medicine, and find irregularities in your health before they become issues.
At a New Leaf Clinic, the doctors can offer a wide range of additional recommended tests along with the physical exam. Here is a list of a few examples:
- Pap Smear: Naturopathic Physicians are trained to do Pap smears.(Covered by BC Cancer Agency)
- Occult Blood: A stool sample that is an early screen for cancers and gastrointestional disease.
- Urine Analysis: Screen for many disorders including kidney damage, diabetes, and bladder infections
- Spriometer: Screen for lung function, from Asthma to COPD.
- ECG: Looks for abnormalities in heart function
- Blood work: including cholesterol, blood sugar, kidney function, liver function, thyroid function, PSA (for men), CA 125 (for women)Â and much more.
