Do you hear the creaks of your body?

A whizzing noise, or maybe even a whining noise? Just like our cars, our bodies sometimes do weird things: Heavy breathing, unexplained weight loss, unending fatigue, frequent  visits to the bathroom or unusual headaches

Just like our cars, when weird things happen, it is a signal that something may be wrong, and we need to take a deeper look into what and why: We need to go in for servicing at the mechanic. The equivalent to getting your car serviced every 5000 miles (generally twice a year) is a visit to the physician for a regular check up. [/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_setting=”1″ desktop_padding=”no-padding” ipad_padding=”sm-no-padding” mobile_padding=”xs-no-padding”][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text padding_setting=”1″ desktop_padding=”no-padding” ipad_padding=”sm-no-padding” mobile_padding=”xs-no-padding”]

Establish a Good Relationship with your Physician

[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Having a relationship with your doctor is like having an expert partner in keeping your body in optimal condition. An annual visit is comparable to yearly tune-up or semiannual oil change. It is important to remember that we are more complex than the average car and to receive the maximum benefits from a doctor’s visit a strong doctor-patient relationship is a critical component. Here are a few ways to enable that:[/vc_column_text][vc_tabs tabs_style=”tab-style2″ tabs_alignment=”text-left”][vc_tab title=”Trust” show_title=”1″ tab_id=”1623183660613-0-10″][vc_column_text]

Finding a doctor to trust is an important decision. Take the time to research and request to meet prospective doctors before making a decision to trust someone with your most valuable possession: yourself.

However, they want to make sure that they are addressing your concerns. Preparing for your appointment and even taking a cheat sheet of notes would go a long way to establishing and strengthening the relationship with your Physician. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][vc_tab title=”Ask Questions” show_title=”1″ tab_id=”1623183660694-0-6″][vc_column_text padding_setting=”1″ desktop_padding=”no-padding” ipad_padding=”sm-no-padding” mobile_padding=”xs-no-padding”]Do not be afraid to ask questions or have the Doctor explain something again. This is a quick-win to ever feeling that your appointment was rushed. [/vc_column_text][/vc_tab][/vc_tabs][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row padding_setting=”1″ desktop_padding=”padding-one-top” ipad_padding=”sm-padding-one-top” mobile_padding=”xs-padding-one-top”][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]Building a relationship with your primary care physician leads to greater focus and increased quality in care. But both parties are required to put in effort to make such a relationship work.
