Participation screening

School & Sports Physicals

A participation physical reviews health history and performs a focused examination to identify issues that may affect safe participation. It is a screening visit, not a substitute for ongoing primary care or an emergency evaluation.

When it may be considered

Care begins with the reason behind the recommendation.

  • School or league participation requirements
  • Review of prior injuries and current symptoms
  • Basic cardiovascular and musculoskeletal screening
  • Identifying when additional medical evaluation is appropriate

Built around your findings

Technique follows the evaluation.

The visual tells one part of the story. The actual recommendation depends on your history, examination, goals, and response—not a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Expectations

What happens afterward

Availability and documentation requirements can change. Call before visiting. A physical does not guarantee unrestricted clearance if findings require records, testing, or another clinician's evaluation.

Contact the office if symptoms change unexpectedly or you are unsure whether a reaction is normal. Emergency symptoms should be evaluated through urgent or emergency medical care.

Common questions

Can a parent complete forms later?

For minors, required history and consent should be completed by a parent or legal guardian before the examination.

Is same-day clearance guaranteed?

No. Additional information or evaluation may be needed before a clearance decision.
