The Importance of a Sports Physical
With millions of kids participating in sports annually, sports physicals are crucial for identifying any health concerns that might impact your child’s ability to engage safely in sports. These physicals are not only often required by athletic leagues and schools but also play a crucial role in preventing sports-related injuries, which are surprisingly more common during practices than games.
What to Expect During a Sports Physical
Our comprehensive physical examination includes:
- Vital Checks: Assessing pulse, blood pressure, height, and weight to understand the child’s development and any potential health risks.
- Eye Exam: Ensuring proper vision and determining the need for prescription lenses or adjustments.
- Fitness Assessment: Evaluating the heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose, and throat, and discussing any limitations on physical activities.
- Joints and Flexibility Evaluation: Identifying areas susceptible to injury and advising on exercises to enhance strength and flexibility.
- Medical History Review: Understanding past health issues to foresee any future medical challenges or needs.
Preparing for the Physical
While a vaccination record isn’t necessary for the physical at our center, some states may require immunization records for participation in new sports. We recommend coming prepared with this information if applicable to your state’s regulations.
