Healthpointe Now Offering Scuba Physicals
La Mirada, Ca (PRWEB) August 28, 2015 -- Healthpointe clinics throughout Southern California are now administering medical evaluations for those seeking to go deep sea diving. The act of recreational diving exposes the body to extreme changes in pressure, possible oxygen toxicity, and decompression sickness; for these reasons, it is vital that all recreational and professional divers undergo regular comprehensive scuba physicals. Healthpointe’s scuba physicals are available within Los Angeles County, Riverside County, Orange County, and San Bernardino County.
Healthpointe’s initial scuba physical examination consists of chest radiographs, electrocardiograms, a pulmonary function test, urinalysis, audiogram, and various other tests that determine the patient’s eligibility for diving. Additional testing may be administered if the Healthpointe physician determines the presence of any pre-existing diseases or possible pathology in the diver.
Scuba physicals should be completed prior to beginning any diving activities. Exams are considered valid for 5 years for those under the age of 40, 3 years for those between the age of 40 and 59, and 2 years for those 60 and older. Medical evaluations should also be completed following any major injuries or illness.
For more information on scuba physicals or to make an appointment please call (800) 956-2663 or visit http://www.Healthpointe.net.
