Think Ahead: Convenient Sports Physicals Available
Denver, CO, October 10, 2023 --(PR.com)-- CareNow Urgent Care clinics are offering $45 sports physicals to keep young athletes healthy and safe this school year. CareNow®, part of the HealthONE system of care, sees an annual spike in youth sports injuries and assist in sports physical delivery to prevent injuries and more serious conditions.
“Conducting sports physicals prior to involvement in organized sports is critical. Among many reasons, as students become more competitive, the stress on the heart can become more intense,” says Dr. Mark Montano, CareNow market medical director. “While we cannot prevent injury in young athletes, but we can reduce cardiac risk through annual sports physicals.”
Sports physicals are often required for school-related activities, so it’s important to check with school coaches for pre-participation requirements.
These sports physicals will provide a comprehensive, head-to-toe assessment including close attention to heart and lungs as well as reviewing of the back for scoliosis, and evaluation of the large joints (ankles, knees, and elbows). Parents should be aware of several important requirements for the physical:
· Students should bring all necessary forms to the appointment
· Bring any medications the student takes regularly
· All students under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
