Why Do Kids Need Physical Exams?

It’s recommended that all kids who are age 2 or older receive a physical examination at least once a year. At a physical exam, a physician will monitor your child’s physical development, check their heart rate and other vital signs, and check their vision and their hearing. Your child can also be checked for early symptoms of health problems such as scoliosis.
