Urgent Care for Sports Physical in Choctaw, OK

Sports physicals, also known as pre-participation evaluations (PPE), are specialized physicals that can be done for children and teens. These physicals include specialized exams to determine your current health and the safety of your participation in sports or certain organizations that require them as well. Sports physicals also cover information besides your current health, such as any injuries you may have previously sustained and health conditions like asthma that may be affected by physical activities, and then this information can be shared with the coaches of the sports teams to make accommodations to keep the child safe and provide adequate changes to facilitate the child. Sports physicals are not meant to be used to eliminate children or teens from participating in sports; they are used to make sure that if a child has medical conditions, they are given equal opportunity while still maintaining the child’s safety during their participation in the sport or activity.

Because sports physicals require an allotted amount of time and additional information from other healthcare providers, it can be important to make an appointment for sports physicals, as, in the case of not having all the necessary documents with you, you may have to go back for another appointment, which can be not only time-consuming but also frustrating for the patient’s parents. When considering sports physicals, clinics like Immediate Care of Oklahoma are equipped to perform the examination, but will still rely on previous medical information from the primary care physician or pediatrician that you see regularly.
