What’s Included in a Pediatric Physical?
Physicals at Lighthouse Pediatrics are more than a standard checkup. These visits provide a complete overview of a child’s health, development, and daily habits. Each physical is tailored to the child’s age and stage of life, offering insight and support at every turn.
Common aspects of a physical may include:
Growth measurements (height, weight, BMI)
Developmental and behavioral assessments
Hearing and vision screenings
Heart, lung, abdomen, and joint evaluations
Immunization review and updates
Nutrition and sleep discussions
School and social development guidance
These visits also provide an ideal space for parents to ask questions about common challenges like picky eating, mood changes, or screen time.
Physicals for School, Sports, and Camp
In addition to annual wellness visits, the clinic offers physicals for school enrollment, sports participation, and camp requirements. These focused exams ensure each child is physically ready to meet the demands of their chosen activities. Dr. Shepard and her team take the time to evaluate any past health concerns that may require extra monitoring during physical activity.
Forms and documentation are handled efficiently, with a focus on convenience for busy families.
A Proactive Approach to Lifelong Health
Dr. Shepard believes that routine physicals help build the foundation for healthy habits that last a lifetime. By monitoring children regularly, her team can identify potential issues early, track milestones accurately, and offer practical strategies for wellness at home.
