Millions of Students Gearing Up for Sports
The Journal of American Medical Association, [JAMA Pediatrics] reports that 44 million students in the US age six through 18 participates in at least one school sport. Most students, particularly the High School athletes are required to undergo a physical examination before they may begin practice.
Comprehensive Convenience is the Goal
Some parents and students complain about the annual physical as an inconvenience. However, the purpose of such evaluations is to ensure the child’s health and safety. Doctors screen for any previously undetected medical or musculoskeletal issues and ensure that any previous injuries are rehabilitated and do not pose a risk for further injury. If the child requires any additional screening or rehab on a previous injury a few weeks can make all the difference in being game ready.
‘Finding a convenient and comprehensive medical evaluation for your child is the goal’ says Dr. Foster, ‘and we believe you should have both for the sake of your athlete’.
