Participating in school sports is fantastic for helping kids stay in shape, make new friends, and develop teamwork skills. That’s probably why over 38 million children in the US play at least one sport.

Every sport carries some degree of risk of getting hurt. Injuries can range from minor aches and sprains to more serious conditions like concussion or heat stroke. Some kids discover they have exercise-induced asthma or are allergic to stinging insets found on playing fields or even congenital cardiac conditions.

As a parent, you can reduce your child’s risks by being prepared before the season starts. That preparation begins with seeing a doctor for a sports physical to make sure your child is healthy enough to engage in sports.

Lee County School District requires that students receive a sports physical before participating in school sports. Many other club sport teams in Estero, FL, also encourage or require athletes to get a sports physical, including the Estero Mustangs football players and cheerleaders.

Every year, Dr. Green successfully helps dozens of Estero athletes prepare for the sports season with comprehensive sports physicals. Some parents even transition their children into patients to learn appropriate exercises and athletic training to improve sports performance.

Lee County School District requires students to have a sports physical every school year. Other private club teams in Estero have similar requirements, but it’s best to check with your coach or manager to be sure.

During the physical, Dr. Green will evaluate your child’s overall health by checking the following:

- Height and weight
- Pulse rate, pulse oxygen and blood pressure
- Reflexes, coordination, strength and musculoskeletal eval
- Vision and hearing
- Ears, nose, and throat eval
- Heart and lungs/cardiac and respiratory eval
- Joint flexibility, spinal alignment, posture, and mobility

Dr. Green will ask for a full record of your child’s medical history including any illnesses, hospitalizations, or injuries that might limit your child’s activity or prevent him or her from playing. You’ll be asked to provide information about whether your child has experienced the following conditions:

- Asthma
- Shortness of breath, faintness or chest pain with exercise
- Dizziness or fainting at rest or with activity
- High blood pressure
- Fatigue
- Diabetes
- Headaches
- Vision problems (wearing glass or contacts)
- Epilepsy
- Previous surgeries or injuries
- Bone, joint, and spine injuries
- Skin problems
- Allergies to food, pollen, or stinging insects
- Kidney, abdominal or liver problems

You’ll also be asked about medication use and family history of heart problems or sudden death before the age of 50.

By the end of the sports physical, Dr. Green will be able to determine whether your child can safely participate in sports based on overall health, type of sport, position played, and competition level. It’s rare for kids to be barred from playing any sport completely. However, Dr. Green may recommend certain modifications when necessary. like special protective equipment, carrying an inhaler for students with asthma, or always having an EpiPen on hand if your child has allergies to stinging insects.

Dr. Green is here to make sure your kid is safe and ready to play. If you live in Estero, Fort Myers, Naples, Bonita Springs, Lehigh, Immokalee or San Carlos Park, call Chiropractic Care and Rehab Center to schedule your sports physical today! Our number is (239) 495-1166.

I recently took my mom to see Dr. Green for softwave therapy on her torn shoulder. Dr. Green was so thorough and explained to us what was going on in my mom's shoulder and how the softwave therapy helps provide some relief before surgery as well as suggestions on questions to ask when seeing the surgeon. He spent a lot of time with my mom, which was so impressive, because my mom is from out of town and he knew she would only be able to come in twice that week and would not be a frequent client. Because of this I was expecting Dr. Green to be in and out quickly and collect his money but that was not the case. I recommend Dr. Green because he is very thorough and caring. If I ever need chiropractic services for myself I will definitely go to Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center!

Oh my goodness, I can’t even say enough good things about this place! I had a headache for two days, my neck was just stuck, and it felt like my head was jammed, I was miserable! My regular chiropractor couldn’t get me in on the 1st day of my headache, could not get it to release on day 2 in the morning! So I went in hot pursuit of anyone that could help. They got me right in that afternoon and treated me. Dr. Green and his staff actually listened to me explain my symptoms. Did an adjustment like I’ve never had in my life, within minutes my headache started to lift immediately, and it was completely gone within an hour or so! Needless to say, if you are ever in the Estero area and your neck or back hurts, this is the ONLY place to go!

I am new to Bonita Springs and was nervous to see a new Chiropractor. Dr Green and his Staff are friendly, knowledgeable and put me right at ease. Dr Green saw me within minutes of my scheduled appointment and I felt better when I left the office. Dr Green is straightforward in his explanations and recommendations. I appreciate that quality in a doctor.

Have been seeing Dr. Green for years and he is always helpful and professional. He addresses the issue and has been a savior at times with my back and gets me back to "normal" quickly.

I am a chiropractor, hired, been adjusted by many different chiropractors over 30 years. Had my own clinic for 20 years, now retired for six. I needed a chiropractor to get adjusted. I remember many people saying try Dr. Green. In my professional and personal opinion, Dr. Green is one of the best chiropractors I have ever experienced. His adjustment was one of the finest I’ve ever received, and I haven’t felt this good in years. Thank you Dr. Green.

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Green for more than 15 years. From the first visit to the last this June, Dr. Green has been attentive, always concerned, given us the best treatment and advice and solved countless problems and issues. His expertise and treatments (always up-to-date) are unsurpassed. He has become a cherished and valued family member. He and Dr. Michelle Giroux are supported by an attentive, friendly, knowledgeable staff. The atmosphere is efficient but friendly and relaxed. No better place to be.

I recently experienced some pretty bad pain in my lower back. Normally I can perform some stretches and self-treat in order to alleviate my pain. This time however, I was forced to step outside my normal comfort zone and sought the help of a professional. Over the last month, I’ve visited Chiropractic Care & Rehab Center and they have helped me tremendously!

My family of six has been using Dr. Green since after we arrived in 2006. Various reasons have been from general realignment issues to an unfortunate rear end auto accident one of our children suffered, to our 93 yr. old mother who needed a better understanding of her back pain and remedies. All six of us have gained relief from the good doctor and we appreciate him so very much. For those of us in the Dr. Green "client family", we know we are staying with the very best, very knowledgeable, and very caring individual and staff. Mark Eckert, Sr.

Dr. Green is one of the nicest medical professionals I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I have chronic back pain from a car accident and also went in with a plethora of other issues I was concerned were being cause by my back. He actually listened to me which it felt like no other doctor had done in YEARS. I look forward to going to this office whenever I have an appointment because it's not your typical sterile, unpleasant environment. Plus, he gave me a cool t-shirt.

Dr. Green has improved my quality of life so much. His adjustments are painless and successful and his staff is amazing. He has recommended exercises for me to do at home and provided rehab to get me started at a very reasonable cost. Dr. Green takes interest in your over-all health. He never minds answering my questions no matter how silly. And bless his heart, I always have a question. I am so lucky to have found him and have this improvement in my life. Thanks Dr. Green and staff. Love you guys.
