Fortunately, your chiropractor near you at Phillips Chiropractic in Woodland, CA, can perform pre-employment physicals for patients across Woodland, Madison, Esparto, and Davis, CA. Continue reading to understand what to expect from your pre-employment physical.

The Physical Exam

The primary function of a physical is to examine the patient’s physical capabilities and health. We will walk through a standard physical screening to test the patient’s health. This screening includes checking your general range of motion and vital functions. We will also have a conversation with you to assess your health. While a physical exam from a chiropractor is similar to one with a doctor, a chiropractic physical spends more time evaluating kinesthetic motion. We do this to ensure the candidate can perform the job without undue risk of injury or adverse health effects.

Drug Screening

We also offer drug screenings and often pair them with the pre-employment physical. If we pair these two, we will ask you to provide a sample to test for drugs. This sample will usually involve either hair, urine, or blood based on the tests needed for the job. We will collect the sample alongside your vitals before you meet with the provider. You should usually get your results for the drug screening within a few weeks.

Specialized Testing

Lastly, we can create specialized health tests to ensure candidates are up to the task. We will assess your physical strength and capabilities to determine if you are fit for a job that involves heavy lifting, intense cardiovascular exertion, or other physical challenges. We may also provide vision and hearing tests if necessary for the position. We customize the tests to ensure candidates can safely perform their duties in the impending position.
