Oftentimes, physicals are required for work, school, and to play sports. In these cases, we’ll cover what is required by these institutions in your physicals. That way, whether you’re doing this for you or your child, you can be on your way to work, school, or play in no time.

Adults vs. Children
Yearly physical help to look for issues that may arise between appointments such as diabetes, high cholesterol, illnesses, injuries, and more. While it is recommended for both adults and children to receive yearly exams, each exam will be different depending on your age and needs.
Children
Sports Physicals are particularly important for children because they ensure that children are making all of the necessary milestones they need to in order to be healthy. This includes height measurements, weight, strength, and coordination. Children may also receive any necessary vaccines at the time of their physicals. As children, we tend to need more vaccines compared to those needed as adults.
Adults
For adults, physicals help to uncover issues we may be facing and not realize it such as diabetes or high cholesterol. They are also important because as we age, our bodies slow down, causing some functions to slow or stop altogether. Annual physical check-ups make sure we are staying happy and healthy, no matter the changes our bodies throw at us.
