Frequently Asked Questions

Physical exams are comprehensive evaluations of your child’s overall health, growth, and development. They help identify any potential health issues early, track developmental milestones, and ensure your child is on the right path for a healthy future. Regular exams can catch problems before they become serious and provide a baseline for future comparisons.

During a sports physical, we assess your child’s fitness levels, check for any medical conditions, and evaluate their readiness for athletic activities. This includes reviewing medical history, performing a physical examination, and possibly conducting additional tests to ensure they can safely participate in sports.

It’s recommended that children have a physical exam at least once a year. Regular exams help monitor their growth, development, and overall health, as well as update any necessary vaccinations and address any health concerns that may arise throughout the year.

It’s best to schedule a sports physical several weeks before the start of the sports season. This allows ample time to address any health issues, make necessary adjustments, and ensure your child is in optimal condition to participate safely in their chosen sport.

While sports physicals focus on evaluating a child’s fitness for athletic activities, they also cover many aspects of a regular physical exam, such as assessing overall health and checking for any medical conditions. However, sports physicals place a greater emphasis on evaluating factors that impact physical performance and safety.
