Before your sports physical, it's essential to gather and understand your medical history. This includes past illnesses, hospitalizations, and any current health conditions. We also encourage you to be familiar with your family's medical history, particularly concerning conditions like heart disease, asthma, and diabetes that could impact your sports performance. In preparation for your visit to Insight Urgent Care, compile a list of medications that you are currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. This list should detail the dosage and frequency of your medications. If possible, complete a health questionnaire with accurate responses concerning your medical history, medications, allergies, and any symptoms you might be experiencing. During your sports physical, our team will want to discuss your diet and exercise routine. This information will help us evaluate your overall health and fitness and provide recommendations regarding your sports involvement. If your sports physical includes urinalysis or bloodwork, we recommend fasting for 12 hours before the physical. However, ensure to stay well-hydrated by consuming plenty of fluids. To make your examination as comfortable as possible, dress in loose clothing that can be easily removed or adjusted. Maintain good personal hygiene by cleaning your body and teeth before the appointment. If you have sensitive skin, use unscented products to avoid irritation during the examination. We also encourage you to inform our team about any recent or ongoing injuries or pain. Be ready to discuss any concerns or questions you may have regarding your health and sports performance. If you're a minor, consider bringing a parent or guardian.
