For many schools and sports teams, a sports physical is required for all students interested in joining the team. These exams, also known as pre-participation physical exams (PPE), are available at Evergreen Pain Management & Rehabilitation in Sheffield Lake, OH, a trusted destination for physical therapy, chiropractic treatment, and more. A sports physical at Evergreen costs just $15, and same-day appointments are available. Please be sure to bring any necessary forms and paperwork along with you to the rehabilitation center.

Here are three things to expect at a sports physical:

  • Questions About Medical History: In this part of the sports physical, your physician will ask many questions to fully understand your medical history. The doctor will ask about allergies, current medications, and previous injuries, including concussions and sprains. It’s important to be as specific and honest as possible in your answers to ensure the most accurate outcome of your exam.
  • A Physical Exam: This exam will involve a collection of vital signs, like blood pressure and heart rate, and a test of reflexes, strength, and vision. The examiner will also measure your height and weight and check up on your ears, nose, throat, and lungs.
  • What If There’s A Problem?: In the unlikely event that you don’t get a clean bill of health from the examining physician, don’t worry. In many cases, you’ll just need to follow up with a specialist, such as an orthopedist or an ophthalmologist, or return for some follow-up treatment or testing.
