Get a Sports Physical on Your Schedule at Our Walk-In Clinic in Wildwood, NJ

If you’re like most parents, you want to do everything you can to help your child stay physically fit and develop the critical social skills needed for success in life. Youth sports programs can certainly help your child reach those goals. However, taking time off from work so your child or teen can get a prerequisite sports physical at your primary care doctor’s office is a tall order. Many medical clinics are open only during daytime hours on the weekdays, which means it’s difficult to schedule a visit that doesn’t interfere with work or school.

Fortunately for families in the Wildwood, New Jersey, area, there’s a convenient alternative: Cape Regional Urgent Care. We’re open during extended hours for walk-in patients seven days a week, including Saturday and Sunday, and our services include school and sports physicals with no appointment needed. Our wait times are short, our rates are affordable, and we accept many health insurance plans—all of which makes our Wildwood urgent care clinic a convenient resource for families on the go.

What to Expect During a Sports Physical at Our Walk-In Clinic

The goal of a sports physical is to assess the prospective participant’s ability to perform the required physical activities safely. In most cases, the school or youth league program will provide you with a specific form that you should bring to Cape Regional Urgent Care for one of our medical practitioners to complete. Although requirements can vary, most forms ask the doctor to:

• Review the participant’s medical history, including existing health conditions and any medications taken on a regular basis

• Check vital signs, body strength and flexibility, and heart and lung function

• Conduct a vision test, which means you’ll want to bring glasses or contact lenses if your child wears them

At the end of the sports physical, your doctor will sign the form indicating whether your child is fully cleared to participate or can do so with restrictions. If a health condition that would prevent your child’s participation is detected, your doctor will provide you with recommendations for follow-up diagnostic services and treatment.
