The Basics on Sports Physicals

The Basics on Sports Physicals

Also called pre-participation physicals, sports physicals are an excellent way to guarantee that your child or teenager is healthy enough to participate in recreational activities at school or the local park district. Here at Children's Medical Clinics, our pediatricians deliver compassionate care to those living in the counties of Dallas and Rockwall. Read on or schedule an appointment at one of our Kaufman, TX, offices to learn more about the benefits of sports physicals.

Why Does My Child Need a Sports Physical?

To avoid getting sick or hurt out on the field, track, or court, your child can benefit from an annual sports physical. These meetings allow your pediatrician to log any changes or injuries, as well as help your athlete identify and deal with problems that might interfere with their favorite sport. Your doctor can also provide training tips and advice for avoiding injuries.

What Happens During the Exam?

Our pediatrician encourages you to bring your child's medical records to your initial consultation, as well as immunization copies, a list of allergies, and any medications that they are currently taking. The school may also require specific documentation, so be sure not to forget them before arriving. Once the doctor finishes assessing individual and family health history, they may ask questions about prior surgeries, hospitalizations, or suspicious symptoms, such as difficulty breathing or chest pain.
