The Need for a Thorough Physical Exam
Back-to-school check-ups, as they are commonly called, are often the only visit most kids and teenagers have with their physician all year. The annual physical gives parents a chance to give the child a thorough physical exam. It can also be a good opportunity for doctors to address typical adolescent issues:
Drinking
Smoking
Drugs
Sexual activity
Depression
If your child is involved in school athletic program, a check up can address any potential issues or lingering injuries well before the start of the new sports season.
