SPORTS PHYSICALS - WHY THEY'RE IMPORTANT
A sports physical not only clears your child to participate in extracurricular activities but it can also help in detecting potentially life-threatening conditions early on. The earlier you catch potential health conditions, the better. Our professionals can provide you and your child with the best medical care possible. This is why schools demand physicals to be done when trying out for sports.
WHAT DO WE CHECK DURING A PHYSICAL?
During a physical exam, our staff may draw blood, assess your child's medical history, take your vital signs, and conduct a heart, neck, and lung, and head exam. Each of these examinations is intended to indicate if eyesight, breathing, hearing, blood pressure, and heart rate are all functioning normally.
Baby Physical Schedule
Your infant should have a physical done every three months during the first year of their life. These physical exams are essential as your child grows drastically during this time frame. We will check and assess growth, hemoglobin, a TB skin test (if deemed necessary), and the need for vaccinations.
Yearly Children's Physicals
Plenty can happen in a year. If your child underwent surgery or had an accident that affected their mental or physical health, a physical can help indicate if they are in a healthy condition. After the age of five, children should have physicals done once a year, but no less than twice a year.
Sports Physicals
In sports physicals, a medical professional will determine if your child can participate in sports and physical activity. Your child's well being can easily be affected if they experience any injuries or accidents. A professional may also address any underlying issues unrelated to athletic concerns.
