School & Sports Physicals and Treatments

What Are School and Sports Physicals?

School and sports physicals are essential health assessments designed to ensure that children and adolescents are physically fit and healthy enough to participate in school activities and sports. These physicals help identify any potential health issues that could affect a child's ability to perform well in school or safely engage in sports.

Why Are Physicals Important?

• Safety First: Physicals ensure that children are healthy enough to participate in sports, reducing the risk of injury or complications during physical activities.
• Identify Health Issues: These exams can uncover underlying health conditions that might not be obvious, such as asthma, heart conditions, or joint problems.
• Preventative Care: Regular physicals help track a child’s development, ensuring they are growing and developing as expected.
• School Compliance: Many schools and sports programs require a physical examination before a student can participate in certain activities. Having these physicals done ensures compliance with school and sports organization requirements.

Our school and sports physicals are thorough yet straightforward, focusing on key health aspects:
