Sports physicals are essential for ensuring that athletes can safely participate in their chosen sport, as required by state regulations, schools, or sports organizations. Even when not mandatory, these exams provide a valuable opportunity to stay informed about your health and address any concerns you may have.

In addition to assessing physical readiness, sports physicals often include conversations about injury prevention and performance optimization. This allows athletes to better understand how to care for their bodies during training and competition, minimizing the risk of common sports injuries like sprains, strains, or overuse conditions. By identifying potential risk factors early, these exams play a crucial role in keeping athletes healthy and active.

A sports physical exam is not intended to replace a comprehensive annual wellness exam and other screenings.
