At NorthShore, school and sports physicals are an integral part of your child's annual well-child check, addressing physical, developmental, and social concerns confidentially while ensuring compliance with school immunization requirements. Our pediatricians facilitate required documentation for schools, camps, and sports activities, offering thorough assessments and, during specific months, providing free backpacks and school supplies to support families during the back-to-school period.

School and Sports Physicals at NorthShore

Back-to-school and sports physicals can be included in your child’s annual well-child check and are often the only visits most kids and teenagers have with their pediatrician every year. This annual physical gives the pediatrician a chance to give the child a thorough physical exam and address any emotionaldevelopmental, or social concerns in a confidential setting. They will also ensure your child is caught up on any required immunizations per the school’s request.

Many schools, daycares, and even summer camps require physicals with documentation that children have up-to-date vaccinations and are physically able to participate in activities. NorthShore pediatricians will have accurate records to assist you in filling out any required forms and paperwork.

Additionally, pediatricians can access the medical records and health history in order to complete the necessary sports physical and paperwork needed for your child’s extracurricular activities. Our pediatricians are trained to identify and treat both medical and bone/joint problems that are commonly seen in children and adolescents who play sports.
