Back to School Physicals

Summer vacation is one of the things that kids look forward to the most. At the same time, it is important to make sure that your child is ready to return to school athletics by undergoing a sports physical. To get sports physicals for your child, be sure to consult with our chiropractor at the Chiropractic Health Clinic in Omaha, NE.

The Importance of Sports Physicals from a Chiropractor

Regular physicals are especially important for growing children. If your child is involved in sports, sports physicals will ensure your child is prepared to compete at the best of his or her ability. Summer vacation can take a lot out of a kid. As such, it is worthwhile to schedule a physical to ensure your child’s musculoskeletal system is in good condition. The last thing you want is to have your child return to school and sports only to experience some kind of injury due to them not being properly prepared.

It is also important to assess how your child has changed over the three months that they spent away from school. A growing child can change quite a bit in only a short period. We will assess your child to determine if your child has experienced a growth spurt, metabolic changes, weight fluctuations, and more. Other things that will be recorded as part of the physical include the child's blood pressure, pulse, and body mass index (BMI). Vision, the health of various body parts (heart, lungs, etc.), joints, muscles, and other parts of the body is also an important part of the process.
