What’s the Deal with the EKG?
While not every school asks for an EKG, our providers recommend it for many student-athletes, especially those involved in high-intensity sports like football, cross country, or basketball.
“I always recommend a baseline EKG at least once for any athlete,” says Tonya, one of our providers at HealthCARE Express. “We’ve discovered heart conditions in kids who had no symptoms. A fast, simple EKG could make all the difference, it’s peace of mind for parents and protection for their child.”
An EKG (electrocardiogram) is non-invasive and only takes a few minutes. It can detect heart rhythm issues that may otherwise go unnoticed. Whether your child is starting their first season or returning as a varsity player, an EKG adds an extra level of safety.
Does My Child’s School Require a Physical?
If your student goes to school in Marshall or surrounding areas, they most likely need a current sports physical on file. Each district has its own timeline and forms, so it’s always good to check with your school’s coaching staff or athletic office.
Here are some of the districts near us to keep in mind:
Physicals are usually required before the first official day of practice, so don’t wait until the schedule fills up.
Beat the Rush—Get It Done Early
Fall sports sneak up fast, and clinics get busier as the school year approaches. The sooner you get your child’s physical done, the more prepared they’ll be, and you’ll avoid those last-minute scrambles.
