One of the critical ways to prioritize
wellness is by being proactive about your health. Between work and family life,
it can be easy to avoid the doctor until it’s a necessity. In honor
of Men’s Health Week, we want to encourage you to be more diligent
about your health, and celebrate with these tips.
Take Care of Reoccurring Pains
A long hard day of work can bring about some aches and pains, but there
are certain types of
pain you should never push aside. If you experience constant
abdominal pain or
chest pains that last longer than a day or so, you’ll want to get yourself looked at.
Though mild abdominal pain could subside with diet changes, there is a
chance it could be something a bit more severe. Visiting your doctor or
local urgent care or
walk-in clinic can give you the peace of mind that your constant pains aren’t something more.
Get Your Physicals
The easiest way to keep your health a top priority is to follow up on
regular checkups and well visits. It’s quite common to assume that
seeing a doctor is only necessary when you’re sick, but this mentality
is what can lead to illness and poor health. With regular physicals, you
can begin to track your health and understand the warning signs of some
more significant issues.
Practice Prevention
Ultimately, prevention is easier (and less expensive) than treatment.
Ignoring a
sprain or strain will lead to further issues and pain. Remember, as you age, your health
services will change, and routine
cancer prevention and testing might become more vital. By building a relationship
with your
doctor and being proactive about your health, you’ll be able to spot sudden
changes early on, allowing you to be more proactive about your overall wellness.

work injury, abdominal pain or possible
dental infection, and you can’t get in to see your doctor or dentist, visit The Campbell
