Sports physicals are another way that we can be proactive with our patients’ healthcare. We will ask several specific questions related to your athletic participation as well as pertinent family history questions to determine whether or not it is safe for you to participate in sports. In Texas, UIL guidelines also stipulate that every athlete must have a preparticipation form on file in order to compete in any sport.
Summer is a great time to schedule sports physicals to ensure that athletes are ready to go once school starts.
