Why Are Physicals Important?
School and sports records are not the only reason a physical exam is important. During a physical, your Rockville pediatrician will check for serious conditions like heart irregularities and hypertension. Knowing your child's health conditions can save their life. Getting a physical also helps your child become aware of their own health. Physicals are important to building a healthy future for your child.
Why Are Physicals Required?
School nurses and coaches must be aware of any medical conditions that your children may have. Unfortunately, accidents can happen in school. That likelihood increases when your child is involved in sports. Everything from food allergies, asthma, and other pre-existing conditions can take your child by surprise during school. Without their parent, they need an adult who knows their health history. A Plus Pediatrics has a trusted staff who are experienced in providing physical exams for local schools.
