The Process:

Medical History
The doctors will ask some of these questions and more:

• Serious illnesses among other family members
• Illnesses that you had when you were younger or may have now, such as asthma, diabetes, or epilepsy
• Previous hospitalizations or surgeries
• Allergies
• Past injuries
• Any medications that you are on
• Does the athlete have asthma (wheezing), hay fever, or coughing spells after exercise?
• Has the athlete ever stopped exercising because of dizziness or passed out during exercise?
• Has the athlete ever suffered a heat-related illness (heat stroke)?

Physical Exam

During the physical part of the exam, the doctor will usually:

• Record your height and weight
• Take a blood pressure and pulse (heart rate and rhythm) reading
• Test your vision
• Check your heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose, and throat
• Evaluate your posture, joints, strength, and flexibility

Why it’s important

The exam helps determine whether it’s safe for you to participate in a particular activity. Most states actually require that kids and teens have a sports physical before they can start a new sport or begin a new competitive season.
Please walk in or call our office if you have any questions.
