Urgent Care for Physical Exams
A school sports physical exam is a comprehensive evaluation of a student athlete’s physical health and fitness. Typically conducted by a physician, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant, it assesses overall well-being and determines eligibility for sports participation based on specific agency requirements.
We proudly offer physical exams seven days a week at all three of our Emerald Coast Urgent Care walk-in clinics in Destin, Panama City Beach, and Inlet Beach. You can call ahead to schedule yours or simply walk-in to get yours completed. Learn more below.
Why are School Physical Exams Required To Participate in School Sports?
Physical exams help identify any medical conditions or potential problems the student might be unaware of, such as heart conditions, asthma, or diabetes. Physical exams also help ensure the student is current on all necessary immunizations.
The physical exam also allows the doctor to inform the student about proper nutrition and hydration, which can help improve performance. Furthermore, physical exams can help identify any physical issues that may need to be addressed to prevent injury in the future.
What Should I Expect During an Urgent Care Physical Exam?
A school physical exam will include a complete physical exam, including height, weight, and vital signs. One of our skilled providers will look for any physical issues preventing you from participating in the sport. This detailed exam may include checking your joints, muscles, heart, lungs, vision, and hearing.
