About this service

Fracture & Sprain Care

At our urgent care clinic, we provide comprehensive, rapid-response treatment for a wide range of orthopedic injuries. Whether you are dealing with a suspected fracture, a severe sprain, or an immobilizing strain, our medical team is equipped to provide immediate stabilization, diagnostic imaging, and expert care. We aim to minimize your pain and prevent further injury by offering onsite X-ray services and professional splinting or bracing, ensuring you receive the necessary stabilization before you leave our facility.

Common Conditions Treated

We specialize in evaluating and treating acute musculoskeletal injuries that require timely attention but do not necessitate an emergency room visit. Our providers are experienced in managing:

  • Closed fractures and stress fractures
  • Ligament sprains (such as ankle, wrist, or knee)
  • Muscle strains and tendonitis
  • Sports-related orthopedic injuries
  • Joint dislocations

What to Expect and Preparation

When you arrive, our staff will perform a thorough assessment, which typically includes a physical examination and digital X-rays to determine the severity of your injury. Based on these findings, we will develop a personalized treatment plan that may include pain management, immobilization, and a referral to an orthopedic specialist if surgical intervention or long-term follow-up is required. For your visit, please try to avoid moving the injured area as much as possible, keep it elevated if comfortable, and bring a list of any current medications. If you have any relevant medical records or previous imaging of the area, please have those ready for our clinical team to review.
