Believe it or not, the school year is just around the corner. Many families are now winding down their summer fun and thinking ahead to school shopping and preparing for the near academic year.

And many students require sports physicals before the new school year begins if they will be playing school sports.

Specialty Urgent Care specializes in sports physicals that are fast and easy and meet all of the requirements for school sports.

The beauty of our clinic is that we provide sports physicals quickly and with compassion…no long wait times like at a family practice office.

Read on to learn more about sports physicals at Specialty Urgent Care.

Why choose Specialty Urgent Care for your child’s sports physical?

A sports physical is also known as a PPE or a pre-participation physical exam. It ensures that your child is safe and healthy to be able to participate in school sporting activities, no matter if it means hitting the court, the field, the track or something else.

It’s important to know, though, that a sports physical is not the same as an exam by your primary care physician and should not be treated as such. Sports physicals solely identify any potential issues that could put your child at risk if he or she plays sports.

Safety is our top priority and our board-certified medica professionals take care to keep your child safe and well.

During a sports physical visit, our doctors will look at your child’s medical history and identify any allergies, ailments or previous injuries. This includes blood pressure, flexibility, heart rate, vision, lung health, joint health and much more.

The goal is to uncover any concerns ahead of time, well before the sporting season starts, to help avoid any potential issues or injuries.

Often, students are required to have a sports physical before the season or practices begin.

For parents who are busy, this can be stressful.

Thankfully, at Specialty Urgent Care, we have a convenient location and convenient hours to help your child be examined fast.

We also offer walk-in appointments so that your child can be seen at a moment’s notice.

Life is busy, and we want to help streamline sports physicals for you and your family.

When it comes to health and wellness of your child, time is of the essence. And we ae here for you.
