About Statcare Physicals
School Physicals
Students must get all of their vaccines up to date before starting school. This is the main focus of a school physical. Statcare provides on-the-spot school and college physicals without the need for an appointment. Our providers will complete the physical form as well as perform any necessary testing (Vision, Hearing, Spine exam, PPD Testing, etc.).
Summer Camp or Sports Physicals
During a camp physical or sports physical (also known as a pre-participation physical), the doctor will inspect your child's muscles, joints, strength, and flexibility. This is to assess whether or not a certain activity or sport is safe for your kid to participate in and to identify risk factors for injury.
Additionally, a sports physical is required if your child has been absent from PE class or sports activities due to a past injury or medical condition. This kind of physical exam should be completed about 6 weeks prior to the start of school camp or the sports season to allow for any required follow-up.
Pre-employment Physicals
Pre-employment physicals are used to determine if you, as a job candidate, are physically capable of performing the fundamental responsibilities of the job for which you have applied. Prior to making a job offer, many employers want a urine drug test.
Insurance Medical Exam
A medical exam may be required by health and life insurance companies to identify if you have any pre-existing diseases or life-threatening conditions. This will help them decide whether or not to cover you and how much the premium should be based on the results. Blood work, urinalysis, an electrocardiogram (EKG), treadmill stress test, and others are usually included in an insurance medical exam.
Physical Exam FAQS
You need a physical exam to keep your health in check. Some individuals may be obliged to get a pre-employment physical exam to confirm that they are physically fit for the job.
Your child needs a physical examination in order to enroll in classes, engage in sports, and attend summer camp. A physical examination might also identify any condition that requires extra medical attention, such as asthma or cardiovascular disease.
In a physical exam, there are two main parts – medical history and the physical exam. Although certain aspects of the exam will depend on the type of physical you are having.
During a medical history, the doctor will review your family history for any serious illnesses or medical conditions, such as diabetes, asthma, cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, etc. It is unsafe to participate in sports or other rigorous physical activity if you or your child are experiencing or have experienced in the past:
- Shortness of breath
- Chest pain
- Fatigue
- Heart murmurs
When pre-existing conditions are discovered or brought up in the examination, the doctor can prescribe proper medication.
During a routine physical exam, the doctor will:
- Test your vision
- Take blood pressure and pulse rate (heart rhythm)
- Check your heart, lungs, abdomen, ears, nose, and throat
- Evaluate your joints, flexibility, and reflexes
After the physical exam, the doctor will either sign the OK for being able to participate in physical activities or they may recommend special care instructions. For employment, they may prescribe a follow-up exam, extra testing, or specialized treatment for medical concerns.
