Sports Physicals Clinic in Davenport, FL

At Pediatric Care of Four Corners, we are committed to helping children and adolescents participate safely in sports and physical activities. One of the key services we offer is the sports physical, also known as a pre-participation physical examination. This important evaluation helps determine if your child is healthy and ready to join organized sports teams or physical activities.
 
During a sports physical, our experienced pediatric providers will:
 
• Review your child’s medical history: We ask about past illnesses, injuries, hospitalizations, current medications, allergies, and family history of serious conditions such as heart disease.
• Perform a comprehensive physical examination: We check growth, vital signs, vision, heart and lung function, and thoroughly assess the musculoskeletal system to identify any joint, bone, or muscle issues that might affect safe participation.
• Discuss any previous injuries or symptoms: Our team ensures that any prior injuries, such as concussions, sprains, or fractures, are fully healed and will not put your child at risk.
• Provide recommendations: If we identify any health concerns, we will work with you and your child to develop a plan—whether that means additional treatment, follow-up care, or modifications to activity.
 
Our goal is to ensure your child’s safety, health, and optimal performance on and off the field. By conducting thorough sports physicals, we help give both you and your child confidence as they pursue their athletic passions.

At Pediatric Care of Four Corners, we are dedicated to supporting your child’s health—both on and off the playing field. We offer both sports physicals and well-child visits to help ensure your child is ready for safe participation in athletics as well as healthy development overall.
 
A sports physical, also known as a pre-participation physical examination, is a focused evaluation designed to determine whether it is safe for your child or adolescent to participate in sports activities. Our providers take special care to review your child’s medical history, with an emphasis on previous injuries, heart health, family history of sudden cardiac events, and any symptoms such as dizziness or chest pain during exercise. During the exam, we pay particular attention to the musculoskeletal system, evaluating joints, muscles, flexibility, and strength—helping to identify any conditions that could increase the risk of injury during sports.
 
A regular checkup, or well-child visit, goes beyond the scope of a sports physical. These visits are designed to assess all aspects of your child’s health and development. We check growth and development milestones, update necessary immunizations, and screen for vision and hearing issues. Our team also discusses important topics like nutrition, sleep habits, behavior, and mental health. If your child has chronic conditions or needs lab tests, we address those as well, focusing on both preventive care and overall wellness.

At Pediatric Care of Four Corners, we are committed to the health and safety of every child in our community, especially those participating in school sports. In Davenport, Florida, student-athletes are required to have a sports physical before they can try out, practice, or compete in any school-sponsored athletic programs. This requirement, overseen by the Florida High School Athletic Association (FHSAA), helps ensure that students are healthy enough for athletic activities and that any potential medical risks are identified in advance.
 
Our experienced pediatric team provides comprehensive sports physicals, also known as Preparticipation Physical Evaluations. During your child’s visit, our licensed healthcare providers—including physicians, physician assistants, and advanced registered nurse practitioners—will thoroughly review your child’s medical history, perform a physical examination, and assess for any health concerns that may impact sports participation. Once complete, we will provide the necessary documentation required by your child’s school.
 
Sports physicals are valid for one calendar year. We recommend scheduling your child’s physical well before the school’s deadline to ensure uninterrupted eligibility for their chosen athletic programs. Requirements may vary slightly between schools, so we encourage parents and guardians to confirm any specific forms or deadlines with their child’s school or school district.

At Pediatric Care of Four Corners, we are dedicated to helping children and teens stay healthy and active. One important way we do this is through comprehensive sports physicals, also known as pre-participation physical examinations. If your child is planning to join a sports team or participate in athletic activities, our experienced pediatricians are here to ensure they are ready to play safely.
 
During a sports physical at our office, we begin by carefully reviewing your child’s medical history. We’ll ask about any past illnesses, hospitalizations, surgeries, injuries, allergies, and any family history of conditions like heart disease or sudden cardiac events. We also discuss current symptoms, medications, and whether your child has ever experienced fainting, chest pain, or shortness of breath during exercise.
 
Next, our pediatricians perform a thorough physical examination. This includes checking vital signs such as blood pressure, heart rate, and respiratory rate. We listen to your child’s heart and lungs to identify any abnormal sounds or rhythms and examine the abdomen, checking for hernias when appropriate. A basic assessment of the ears, nose, and throat helps us rule out issues that could affect breathing or performance during sports.

Dr. ElSayed understands the importance of safety and preparedness for young athletes. Her specialized sports physicals go beyond basic checks, focusing on assessing the athlete’s physical readiness, checking for pre-existing conditions (like cardiac or orthopedic issues), and ensuring compliance with all league and school requirements. This thorough examination, including a medical history review and physical assessment, is crucial for minimizing injury risk and giving parents and coaches peace of mind, ensuring your child can safely and confidently pursue their athletic passions.
