Sports Physicals
Comprehensive Sports Physicals
A sports physical, or pre-participation physical evaluation (PPE), is a vital step in ensuring that athletes are physically prepared for the demands of their sport. Most schools and athletic leagues require these exams to identify any underlying health concerns that could pose a risk during intense physical activity. Our clinic offers sports physicals for $50, providing a thorough assessment that adheres to the latest safety guidelines and medical standards.
What the Evaluation Entails
The standard sports physical focuses on two main areas: medical history and a physical examination. During the exam, a healthcare provider will review the athlete’s history of past injuries, surgeries, or known medical conditions. The physical portion includes checking vital signs, evaluating the musculoskeletal system for strength and flexibility, and ensuring that the cardiovascular system is functioning correctly for the athlete's age and activity level.
The Importance of Cardiac Screening
In recent years, medical standards for student-athletes have shifted toward more comprehensive cardiac monitoring. To meet this new standard of care, we offer an enhanced sports physical that includes an Electrocardiogram (EKG) for $90. An EKG is a non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. This additional screening is designed to detect rare but serious heart conditions that might not be audible or visible during a traditional physical exam.
