When your child needs a sports physical but it’s outside of normal business hours, where will you turn? How about when the season is quickly approaching and you simply don’t have time to wait for an open appointment slot with your child’s pediatrician? If you’re in Norwalk, Connecticut, or the surrounding area, you can rely on PhysicianOne Urgent Care. We proudly offer walk-in sports physicals for families in this community.

What to Expect

If your child is new to playing sports, you may be wondering what a sports physical is and how it differs from an annual physical. While annual physicals tend to be more comprehensive—also considering a child’s developmental, emotional, and social health—a sports physical is focused on determining whether there are any health issues that would prevent a child from participating in their chosen sport. To reach this determination, one of our experienced providers will review your child’s medical and family histories and then conduct a physical examination.

If you’re concerned about whether your child will be able to participate, don’t give up hope—in many cases, accommodations can be made in order to ensure a safe playing experience. For instance, if your child has asthma, we might be able to prescribe a special inhaler for them to use at practice and during games. We’ll be happy to answer your questions and provide you with recommendations that are tailored to your child’s specific needs.

Throughout the visit I felt like the staff really cared. The doctor took his time talking with me about my symptoms, and I felt like he listened to all my concerns and took that into consideration when recommending the right treatment. Thank you!
