The Top Choice for Sports Physicals in Cleveland, TN

Picture of children kicking soccer balls on a field.Has your child been told that they need to undergo a sports physical exam before they can participate in the upcoming school sports season? If so, you can get their physical completed at Erlanger ExpressCare, a trusted urgent care provider with an office conveniently located in Cleveland, Tennessee.

What Is a Sports Physical?

Is this the first time your child has needed a physical for a sports team? It can be easy to confuse annual physicals and athletic physicals, but they’re actually quite different. While annual physicals also take into account a child’s developmental, emotional, and social health, sports physicals instead focus on whether they are healthy enough to play the sport in question. To make this determination, one of our experienced medical providers will:

  • Speak with you about your child’s medical and family histories
  • Record your child’s height and weight
  • Check your child’s vitals (including their blood pressure and pulse)
  • Examine your child’s eyes, ears, nose, throat, lungs, abdomen, and joints
  • Assess your child’s strength and flexibility
