What do they do at a sports physical?

According to the National Library of Medicine, a sports physical normally includes a chat about your medical history as well as a physical examination. A sports physical is intended to detect any potential health issues that may be caused or exacerbated by sports, as well as to manage chronic diseases or injuries that may prevent you from participating in specific activities.

What is a physical exam?

During a physical exam, your doctor will examine and evaluate your body to see whether you have any physical health issues. According to the National Library of Medicine, a physical examination normally entails your doctor visually inspecting your body, feeling it with their fingers or hands, and listening to it (such as your heart).

What if you don’t pass a sports physical?

According to Texas A&M University, if your doctor detects a concern that could jeopardize your health and safety while participating in sports, they will work with you to identify and address the issue before the start of the season, if possible. Your doctor may recommend that you use a medical device such as a brace or send you to a specialist for additional treatment, according to the University.

The wait was about 5-10 minutes. The physician Heather was so thorough and kind. She even called the next day to see how I was feeling. I would definitely recommend. The receptionist was also very friendly. I wish I knew her name.

I'm not one to usually write a review unlike most people. Every business every person has a bad day, but why must everyone judge a business/person on one bad minute. With that said I have to say ReadyMED, Auburn is by far the BEST! I have been there 3 times in Auburn, unfortunately twice in a 24 hours period both times they were amazing. The morning shift 2/1 and the evening shift 2/2 you know who you are. Keep up the awesome work, its a tough job and you never get the credit you are due. Thank you for everything!!

My experience at Urgent Care at Harbor Medical was good. I was unable to get into my PCP, so went to Urgent Care. They were very nice, explained everything carefully and did all they could for me. They sent me to the ER to complete my testing.

I have used urgent care in Northboro several times over the past two years . I am amazed at the professional level of care given. Each time I have gone I have been treated with the upmost respect. I make an appointment and that assures me that the wait time will be lessened. I am grateful for all those who work there.
