Ensure Your Child’s Health and Success This School Year
As your child prepares for the new school year, a comprehensive physical exam is essential to ensure they’re ready for academic and extracurricular activities. At
First Care Urgent Care, we provide back-to-school and sports physicals for children ages 6-18.
Our clinic, conveniently located at 9115 S. Cicero Ave, Oak Lawn, IL, offers timely and thorough physicals to help your child stay healthy and meet school and sports requirements.
Why Are Back-to-School Physicals Important?
Back-to-school physicals are a proactive way to keep track of your child’s overall health and development. These physicals go beyond a quick check-up; they help identify potential health concerns early, ensure up-to-date immunizations, and provide an opportunity to discuss any health issues your child may face during the school year.
Comprehensive Health Assessment:
Our experienced healthcare providers evaluate your child’s health, including checking vital signs, height, weight, vision, and hearing. This is an excellent opportunity to monitor growth and development.
Updated Vaccinations:
Many schools require children to be vaccinated against common diseases. Our back-to-school physicals include an update on required or recommended vaccines, ensuring your child meets school immunization requirements.
Health and Wellness Guidance:
We offer advice on maintaining a healthy lifestyle, managing chronic conditions like asthma or allergies, and addressing concerns such as sleep habits, nutrition, or mental health.
Prepare for Academic Success:
A healthy body leads to a healthy mind. Identifying and addressing health concerns before the school year begins helps children focus better in class and perform at their best.
Preparing Your Student Athlete For The Season
If your child plans to participate in school sports, a sports physical is mandatory in many cases to ensure they are physically fit to engage in athletic activities. Sports physicals, also known as pre-participation exams (PPE), help assess whether your child is ready to take on the physical demands of their chosen sport.
Injury Prevention:
Sports physicals help identify risk factors that could lead to injuries. We evaluate your child’s flexibility, strength, and overall fitness level to ensure they can safely participate in sports.
Medical History Review:
Our healthcare providers will review your child’s medical history to identify any pre-existing conditions, such as heart issues or asthma, that may affect their participation in sports.
Customized Recommendations:
Depending on your child’s physical condition, we provide guidance on exercises, stretching, or precautions to prevent injuries and maximize their athletic potential.
