Sports Physicals

Why Sports Physicals Matter

At Crater Chiropractic Clinic, we provide comprehensive sports physicals to help young athletes safely participate in both school and recreational sports. Our licensed providers focus on musculoskeletal health, screening for any underlying concerns, and ensuring your child is physically prepared to compete. These evaluations are quick, thorough, and tailored to meet the needs of active students.

In Oregon, most schools and athletic organizations require a sports physical before a student can participate in team or competitive sports. These exams are typically valid for up to two years, but requirements can vary — so we recommend checking with your school or district to confirm the specific guidelines.

What to Expect

We make sports physicals simple, thorough, and student-focused. Each exam is designed to confirm your child is in good health and ready to safely participate in athletics.

During the visit, we’ll cover:

  • A review of the student’s medical history

  • Height and weight measurements

  • Blood pressure and heart rate check

  • Vision screening

  • A full musculoskeletal exam (posture, joints, strength, flexibility)

  • Heart and lung evaluation

We’ll also take time to answer any questions you or your student may have and make sure everything is in place for a successful season.

Scheduling & What to Bring

Appointments are required for all sports physicals.
To keep things running smoothly for all patients, we’re unable to accept walk-ins at this time. That said, we understand how busy life gets — and we do our best to offer same-day or next-day availability whenever possible. Just give us a call, and we’ll work with your schedule to get your student in as soon as we can.

Please be sure to bring the following to your appointment:

  • Completed paperwork signed by a parent or legal guardian

  • Your school’s official sports participation form

  • The OSAA Physical Examination form, which is required by most schools across Oregon for athletic clearance

Bringing completed forms helps us streamline the visit and ensure your student is cleared and ready to participate without delays.
