Sometimes, health problems do not show up until they have already caused damage. That is where health screenings come in; they help you catch issues early, stay ahead of risks, and take control of your well-being.
At Dr Lakey & Associates, we offer routine health screenings for individuals of all ages. These check-ups are simple, informative, and designed to give you a clearer picture of your health. Whether you are managing chronic conditions or simply staying on top of things, screening is one of the most effective ways to prevent long-term complications.
Dr Lakey, your GP in Parklands, is here to help you take proactive steps toward long-term wellness.
What is a health screening?
A health screening is a focused check-up that looks for early signs of medical conditions, often before symptoms appear. These may include blood tests, physical measurements, or questionnaires based on your age, gender, family history and lifestyle.
What kinds of screenings are available?
Common health screening options include:
- Blood pressure and cholesterol checks.
- Blood sugar (diabetes) testing.
- Weight and BMI assessments.
- Cancer risk assessments (breast, prostate, cervical).
- Screening for anaemia and thyroid conditions.
- Lifestyle risk factor review (diet, alcohol, smoking).
- Mental health screening.
These tests are simple but impactful. The goal is to pick up on warning signs early and guide you towards the right steps.
When should you get screened?
You may benefit from a health screening if:
- You have a family history of certain conditions.
- You have not had a check-up in over a year.
- You are over the age of 35.
- You are feeling fine but want peace of mind.
- You have symptoms you are unsure about.
Prevention starts with awareness. One short appointment could make a lasting difference.
