Annual physicals and sports physicals at your urgent care center

Sports Physicals in Germantown, MD
Summer “to do” list

You can get ahead of the game by taking your family to your Germantown urgent care clinics for annual physicals and/or sports physicals. If you have a youngster that plans on participating in football this fall, it would be wise to get his sports physical as early as possible, Most football programs start training camp in August, and you can be sure that many doctor’s offices will be swamped with back to school physicals and vaccinations. Urgent care clinics are ultra convenient because you don’t need an appointment; walk-ins are welcome. Beyond sports physicals, your kids should have a physical every year, regardless of age.

Two birds with one stone

If your child plays a sport, taking him or her to an urgent care clinic for a sport physical can take care of two projects at one time. Sports physicals and regular back-to-school physicals are not the same. However, they can be completed in the same appointment, saving you time, money, and an extra trip to the doctor. Having a sport physical completed earlier will be very wise because it will give your child and his or her doctor the opportunity to address any concerns with regard to injuries, nutrition, training, or other health issues. In the event that injuries or health problems are discovered, it gives your child time to receive treatment and to recuperate before the sports season actually begins.
