Making sure athletes are ready to play

Our physicians provide physicals for thousands of student-athletes throughout the region. We work closely with the athletic departments of several high schools and colleges to ensure the safety of their players.

We provided physicals for hundreds of high school athletes at our new Jackson facility – a service we’re proud to offer each year.

A sports physical is more than a general physical; it’s a comprehensive assessment designed to identify potential risks that could impact an athlete’s performance or safety. It can help find hidden health issues, such as heart problems or asthma; assess injury risk and identify areas of vulnerability.

If you have a question about your athlete’s physical, talk to your coach or give us a call at 731-661-9825.
