Sports Physicals and Baseline Concussion Testing
Testing is Available Year Round
Sports are great for kids but it’s important to get a physical before they go out on the field. Our Urgent Care Centers offer $25 physicals that are quick, thorough and convenient — you won’t have to wait. Call any of our Urgent Care Centers below and schedule today. Hours are daily from 8:00am to 8:00pm.
You may also want to schedule a baseline concussion testing for an additional $15.
Concussions are traumatic head injuries that occur from both mild and severe blows to the head. They are not only associated with professional athletes but also with school and recreational youth sports. While a standard sports physical is required by nearly all school and youth sports leagues, this will not provide doctors with important information about a child’s cognitive abilities should a concussion occur. A baseline concussion test will provide physicians with valuable information to use if a child suffers a concussion.
The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that every child playing a sport get a pre-season test of "normal" brain function (known as the ImPACT test). This pre-concussion test helps to establish a baseline of the child's normal cognitive brain function which can later be used to compare to a post-concussion test, should an injury occur during a sport. This neurocognitive test is recognized nationwide and adopted by the NFL, NHL and Broward County schools.
Ages 10-18 years. Appointments preferred. Insurance does not cover these exams. Payment due at time of appointment.
