Why are sports physicals important?

Sports physicals are comprehensive exams that involve evaluating you from head to toe. Your physician or healthcare professional at The Honeycomb Clinic performs sport-specific tests and screenings to ensure you:

• Are not at risk of injury
• Are in overall good health
• Have recovered from a previous injury
• Properly managing a chronic issue, like diabetes or asthma

Sports physicals are also your chance to ask questions. You can learn about how to help prevent injuries and get all the information you need should an injury occur. 

What can I expect during a sports physical?

The Honeycomb Clinic is dedicated to providing personalized care where you feel welcome and comfortable.

Sports physicals often begin with a discussion. Your physician or healthcare professional needs to know about any prior injuries or health problems and the details of your sport.

After speaking with you, your practitioner performs a physical examination and:

• Observes your walk
• Checks your weight and height
• Checks your range of motion
• Gathers any necessary labs or imaging

They also evaluate your medications, if applicable, to ensure they’re up to date. The medical clinic has an in-house pharmacy available for added convenience. 

What do I bring to a sports physical?

Before visiting The Honeycomb Clinic for your sports physical, take a few steps to prepare. You should bring the following items to your appointment:

• Previous medical records
• Insurance card
• Identification documents

You can also print out a copy of the sports physical form for your physician or healthcare professional to fill out. Lastly, if you have been experiencing any unusual symptoms, like muscle soreness or wheezing while breathing, make sure to mention it during your physical.

Writing down a list of your concerns (so you don’t forget) and bringing them to your sports physical can also be helpful.

The Honeycomb Clinic specializes in sports, DOT, annual physicals, and various specialties, so you can feel confident that you will receive the care you need. They can meet all your needs, including imaging and other diagnostic testing, under one roof.
