School physicals are required by most schools and sports organizations to ensure children are healthy enough to participate in academic activities and sports. They help identify any potential health issues and make sure your child is up-to-date on required vaccinations.
Bring any required forms from your child’s school or sports program, your child’s immunization records, and information on any medications they are taking. If there are specific concerns or health issues, note those to discuss with the provider.
During the physical, your child’s vital signs will be checked, including weight, height, and blood pressure. The doctor will review medical history, conduct a physical examination, and perform any necessary vision or hearing tests. If your child plays sports, additional assessments may be done to ensure they are physically prepared.
Vaccinations may be required depending on your child’s age and the school’s requirements. The provider will check to see if your child’s immunizations are up to date and provide any that are necessary.
Most schools and sports organizations require an annual physical. It’s a good idea to schedule the exam during summer or before the start of the school year to ensure all requirements are met in time for school activities.
Absolutely. This is a great time to discuss any questions you may have about your child’s physical, emotional, or social development. Whether it’s concerns about sleep, nutrition, or behavior, our providers are here to offer guidance and support.
