Sports Physicals at Med First Primary & Urgent Care
We know that participating in a sport can benefit children’s health, but most schools and sports leagues require participants to get a physical before joining a team. At Med First, we offer walk-in and by-appointment sports physicals daily. No appointment is necessary, but feel free to text us or reserve a time online! When your child needs a physical, come to Med First!
What’s the Purpose of a Sports Physical?
Sports physicals help screen athletes for potential conditions that could limit or prevent their physical activity. These medical exams are a simple and effective way to ensure it is safe for your child to participate in their sport.
What Does A Sports Physical Include?
During your physical exam, your healthcare provider will ask you about your health history and any past injuries. He or she will then examine and check for:
Your heart rate and rhythm
Any joint pain or tenderness
Elevated blood pressure
Pulmonary Health
Vision Exam
Hearing loss
