Common injuries treated at urgent care centers

Injuries happen when you least expect them. That’s why we’re here for you seven days a week to help treat common injuries such as sprains, broken bones, burns, cuts and more. Most of the urgent care centers offer on-site X-ray services, stitches and quality injury care. You can walk in or save your spot online at a center near you.

Sprained ankle

Treating fractures, sprains and strains

Whether you sprain your ankle jogging in the park or walking to your car from the office, we’re here for you. The experienced healthcare providers have seen it all and can diagnose, treat and provide connections to a specialist if more follow-up care is necessary. 

With X-ray capabilities, healing supplies such as slings and crutches, and little-to-no wait times, we can assess and treat most broken bones, fractures, sprains and more, so you’ll be back on your expedition (or to work) in no time.

Treatment for cuts and scrapes

Cuts and scrapes are common injuries that sometimes require medical treatment. If your cut is deeper than ¼ inch, has visible muscles, tendons or bone, or doesn’t stop bleeding within 15 minutes, you may need stitches or treatment. If you think you need stitches, go immediately to any of the urgent care locations. If you wait too long to have your cut treated, you risk infection, bleeding and excessive scarring.

Visit an urgent care to get treatment for your injuries

Urgent care centers can help evaluate, diagnose and treat most common injuries — helping you save time and money. Getting seen at an urgent care is often faster than getting an appointment with your primary care provider but less expensive than an emergency room. 

Sprains, strains, broken bones and eye injuries can be treated at the urgent care centers through the healthcare partners. Visit the services page to learn more about the various services available at the centers.  

For immediate care, start by finding a location near you and simply walk in (no appointment needed), save your spot online or walk in with one of the caring providers.
