Physical Exams Services for Chatsworth Residents

Chatsworth is a community known for its industrial strength, equestrian trails, and hardworking families. Whether you need an annual physical to monitor your health, a sports physical for your young athlete, or a DOT physical to keep your commercial driver’s license active, Valley Family Medicine is here to serve you. Based in San Fernando, we proudly extend our comprehensive Physical Exams Services to the Chatsworth community. We offer walk‑in physicals with no appointment necessary—annual wellness checks, school and sports physicals, pre‑employment exams, DMV physicals, and more. Call us at 818-774-0955 or visit our clinic for same‑day, thorough physicals.

Our annual adult physical is a complete preventive health assessment tailored to your lifestyle. We begin with a detailed medical and family history, reviewing chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, heart disease, COPD, asthma, arthritis, and thyroid disorders. We also discuss lifestyle factors including diet, exercise, sleep, stress, tobacco, and alcohol use. Vital signs—blood pressure, pulse, temperature, respiratory rate, and oxygen saturation—are measured. A full head‑to‑toe physical exam follows: cardiac auscultation for murmurs or irregular rhythms, lung assessment for wheezes or crackles, abdominal palpation for tenderness or masses, neurological screening (reflexes, coordination, balance), skin inspection for suspicious moles or lesions, and examination of eyes, ears, nose, and throat. Vision and hearing screening are included. Based on your age, gender, and risk factors, we order appropriate lab work: complete blood count, comprehensive metabolic panel, lipid panel (total cholesterol, LDL, HDL, triglycerides), thyroid‑stimulating hormone (TSH), hemoglobin A1c (diabetes screening), vitamin D, and urinalysis. For women, we coordinate Pap smears and breast exams; for men, we discuss prostate health and testicular screening. We administer immunizations (flu, Tdap, shingles, pneumonia, HPV, hepatitis B) and provide preventive counseling on weight management, blood pressure control, heart disease prevention, nutrition, stress reduction, and smoking cessation.

Chatsworth students and young athletes rely on us for sports physicals (pre‑participation exams) required by schools, clubs, and youth leagues. Our focused exam evaluates cardiac health (murmurs, arrhythmias), musculoskeletal integrity (joint stability, range of motion, strength, flexibility), and neurological safety (concussion history, vision). We also provide school entry physicals, camp physicals, and college physicals with same‑day completion forms.

Employers in Chatsworth trust us for pre‑employment physicals to ensure candidates can safely perform physically demanding jobs, return‑to‑work physicals after injury or illness, and DOT physicals for commercial drivers. Our DOT exams follow strict FMCSA guidelines: vision (20/40 or better in each eye), hearing (forced whisper at 5 feet), blood pressure (≤140/90), urinalysis for protein, glucose, and blood, and review of sleep apnea, diabetes, heart disease, and medications.

We also perform DMV senior driver physicals, foster care and adoption physicals, life insurance physicals, and executive wellness exams. Each exam includes clear documentation and a signed certificate provided the same day. Most physicals take under 45 minutes.
