LAKES URGENT CARE

When your health concerns can't wait.

Just because my school doesn't require it, what should I do right now to best prepare my son for the new school year?

The State of Michigan now requires vaccination history be provided, so make sure all recommended immunizations are up to date. If your son is in high
school, now would also be a good time to discuss getting the meningitis and HPV vaccines. Your pediatrician or primary care provider can provide you
with counseling and administer the vaccines as well.

Have his hearing and vision checked. Often times, visual changes can be subtle, but can contribute to correct a potential learning challenge. Your
pediatrician, primary care provider or local certified urgent care are an excellent resource to determine if there is an underlying vision or hearing problem.

Update his emergency medical records and contact information at school. If your son has any chronic medical issues like asthma, diabetes or seizure
disorder, make sure there is a well-reviewed action plan, should there be an issue. Also update any allergy history.

Stay away from those jumbo backpacks! Backpack should not be more than 20% of your son's total weight. Anything heavier can lead to issues with
back pain, strain or even distort good posture.

Help him manage and relieve stress! The new school year always brings exciting new experiences, but can also be very stressful with new challenges.
Getting plenty of sleep, eating a well-balanced diet providing good nutrition, and maintaining an active exercise routine can help make the
new school year more successful.

He had a physical last year and now he needs a sports physical to play football. What's the difference?

Regardless of whether he plays sports or not, your son should have a complete physical exam once a year with his pediatrician
or primary care physician. The sport or camp physical should never be used as a substitute for this more thorough annual
evaluation. The focus of each of these types of physicals is very different.

The sports physical is really an adjunct to the annual complete physical, with more specific questions about your son's physical
ability to play sports safely. Most health insurance plans to don't cover services for this type of evaluation, but you can get this
completed at a certified urgent care at a very reasonable cost. Simply download and bring your school's athletic exam form to
either your primary care physician or a certified urgent care facility. Lakes Urgent Care takes care of sports physicals easily and
quickly if you need us after hours to accommodate your families busy schedule.
