The Importance of Routine Physicals for Children
The gifted nurse practitioners at Integrative Pediatrics provide physical services to families from in and around Englewood, Denver, Cherry Hills Village, and Greenwood Village, Colorado. Regular sports or camp physicals are a chance for our pediatric nurse practitioners (PNP) to discuss important health issues with children and their parents or guardians. Also known as pre-participation exam (PPE) these exams are designed to determine whether a child:
- can participate in an activity without limitation
- can participate but should have certain restrictions due to an existing health condition
- should not participate
Show more
Specific requirements vary, but during a sports or school physical we will:
- Review your child’s medical history looking for items that might place them at an increased risk of injury associated with participation and develop an appropriate treatment plan
- Review the family medical history looking at patterns of illness in the family as an indicator of any potential conditions the child may have.
- Assess and review prior injuries for adequate healing and function
- Conduct a physical examination including an evaluation of height / weight, posture, joints, strength, and flexibility.
- Make recommendations on healthy lifestyle choices and discuss safety equipment, such as helmet or mouth guard, to reduce the risk of serious injury associated with participation
- Offer training tips such as stretching or strengthening activities, nutrition and supplement use
- Review your child’s immunizations
- Complete forms needed for sports or school participation (forms to be provided by parent/guardian)
If a problem is uncovered we will work with you to determine the best course of treatment, further diagnostic evaluation that might be indicated or referral to a specialist. It is very unlikely that you’ll be disqualified from playing sports. The ultimate goal of the sports physical is to ensure safe participation in sports, not to disqualify the participants. Most of the time, a specialist won’t find anything serious enough to prevent you from playing your sport. In fact, fewer than 1% of students have conditions that might limit sports participation, and most of these conditions are known before the PPE takes place.
Sports, school, and camp physicals are available for patients who are 21 years of age and younger. Many states require these exams once a year or before participating in any physical activity at a school, camp or community organization. Tired of waiting at your pediatrician’s office? Our online appointment scheduling simplifies the scheduling process and our staff of experienced pediatric nurse practitioners can ensure the safest possible summer / sports experience for your child.
