Yes. Dr. Casey works with local schools and students. Student athletes can come in for sports injury care, sports physicals, and guidance on strength and conditioning. Parents are welcome to call the office at (913) 424-2410 with questions.
What happens during a sports physical?
A sports physical typically includes a review of your health history and a physical exam focused on whether it is safe for you to take part in your sport, including a look at your joints, muscles, and movement. If your school, team, or league has its own physical form, bring it with you to your appointment. Check with your school, team, or league that a physical from a chiropractic physician meets its requirements.
