Importance of School and Sports Physicals

Decatur Pediatric Group is here for your family with a dedicated team of pediatricians. We can help with all your pediatric healthcare needs including school and sports physicals. If your child is returning to school or playing sports this fall, come in for an appointment so they can be evaluated and vaccinated for their safety.

Your pediatrician likes to hear that your child plays sports because the activity is great for their physical and mental health. It's still important to take the right precautions when playing. A sports physical helps determine if it is safe for your child to play their sport of choice. With a comprehensive physical exam and health screening, your pediatrician can tell you if your child should have any restrictions on activities. Athletes are more prone to injury, so talk to your doctor about the sports your child plays. Ask about stretches and exercises your child can do to prevent injuries when playing sports.

Schedule a school and sports physical in Clarkston, Smyrna, and Lithonia, GA, and make sure your child is up to date on all their vaccinations before returning to school and sports. We believe you need to keep your child up to date on all immunizations for their health and safety. It's normal for a parent to worry when their child needs to get a shot, but if you have any concerns about immunizations we are happy to speak with you about how safe and effective they are.

A physical is also an important opportunity to speak with your pediatrician. We encourage you to come to your physical appointment with any questions about your child's physical health, habits, or behavioral health.
