ThedaCare is encouraging parents to get their student athletes physicals done early.
A sports physical is a medical assessment required by most schools and community sports leagues to ensure a child can safely participate in sports.
Scheduling these appointments early in the summer can help make time for any necessary treatment and recovery before the start of the sports season.
Dr. Kevin Gentile, a pediatrician with ThedaCare Physicians Pediatrics-Neenah, says, “Late Spring is a great time to schedule, and your child can complete their annual checkup and sports physical in the same visit.”
Parents and guardians planning to schedule checkups and sports physicals for their young athletes can visit MyThedaCare, make an appointment, and avoid the summer rush.
