Where Else Can I Get a Sports Physical?

If for some reason these dates/times don’t work for you, don’t fret! LOTS of places offer sports physicals for a minimal cost, and your insurance may cover it, as well.

Here are some options I found:

ChiroCenter Long Lake – $39

CVS Minute Clinic – $76

These are just ones with prices listed; I found many more. Just about any urgent care service offers sports physicals and will be your insurance or you can pay out of pocket. And of course, you should be able to schedule with your regular provider.
