If you already have certain medical conditions, then you will need to bring additional information. Please ask what information is required before your appointment. For example, if you wear glasses/contacts they will need to be brought with you.

Sport Physicals in Surprise, AZ

Sport physicals, also known as preparticipation physical examination (PPE), are usually required before you can play a particular sport for your college, school, or university. They are required to make sure that it is safe for you to participate in a sport. There are two main parts which are your medical history and physical exam. Even if they are required we still recommend that you get one.

Sport physicals are important because they can help you discover potential health problems that could cause problems with the sport you play. It also allows the doctor to help you understand how to better help your limits and even offer suggestions for safer play.

Listed below are some common questions we get asked:

Q: Cost of a Sports Physical?

A: Since sports physicals are not covered by insurance, Surprise Care offers Sports physicals for a low price of 20!

Q: What does a Sports physical consists of:

A: Your doctor will go over your medical history and there will be very specific questions about how your body tolerates physical activity. Such as, “Do you get chest pain while running, or feel short of breath during intense exercise?” Then they will complete a physical exam. This is to assure your safety while playing the sport you love. If you bring a copy of your vaccinations, the provider can review and let you know if there are any that are needed. If so, Surprise Care can offer them for an additional charge.

Q: Does a Sports Physical count as my annual physical?
A:    The answer is no, a sports physical focuses on more sports related issues and is more limited than a standard physical. Regular physical exams focus more on your over well health, rather than sports. Both can be completed on the same visit but note that you will need to make sure to schedule additional time for both.

Once your sports physical is completed we will make sure that all documents that you need are filled out right. Surprise Care is here to help with all you sports physicals and standard annual physical, give us a call today to get one scheduled.
