A well-child check differs from a physical in that it is more comprehensive. A physical only focuses on the physical health of the child, checking things like height and weight, vision, heartbeat, ears, throat, and mouth. A physical is included within a well-child check as part of the process, but a well-child check covers much more. A well-child check includes emotional and mental health, ensuring general health nutrition and physical activity behaviors, up-to-date immunizations, as well as family history of illnesses. A well-child check exists to ensure every aspect of your child's health, growth, and development and establishes the best course of action to take preventative measures against illness or injury going forward.
