We offer convenient and affordable camp, school or sports physicals* for your child athlete or camper, ages 6 and up.
Schedule your sports physical at SCC Dallas or just walk in from 9 am to 5 pm. Whether your child is getting ready for sports, school, or camp, a physical is the first step in making sure they’re healthy and ready for any activity.
Over 46 million kids participate in sports annually, and 62% of injuries occur during practices. Football, basketball, and soccer are the top three sports with the most injuries. Sports physicals are required by athletic leagues and schools to raise awareness and identify injury-prone areas.
Physicians at SCC Dallas assess an athlete's vitals, joints, flexibility, vision, and fitness to diagnose and recommend limitations on physical activity. While not mandatory, some states require immunization records.
We'll check your child's pulse and blood pressure to ensure proper vitals. We'll also document his or her weight and height, since growth spurts and weight changes can place added stress on joints, muscles, and bones.
An eye exam checks for proper vision and evaluates whether your child needs prescription lenses or if his or her current prescription needs to be adjusted.
Next we’ll examine your child’s heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose, and throat. We'll check his or her cardiovascular system and recommending any limitations on physical activity.
By testing your child’s strength, flexibility, posture, and joints, we can identify any areas that may be prone to injury as well as suggest potential exercises and tips to help build a healthier body.
A medical history is just as important as a medical examination. Knowing about any past illnesses, surgeries, or conditions, such as asthma or chest pains, will help diagnose problems and prevent complications in the future.
