Visit Us to Recover From
Musculoskeletal Injuries
Fractures, sprains, and strains are common musculoskeletal injuries that affect your bones, ligaments, and muscles. A fracture is a break in the bone, often caused by trauma or impact. A sprain involves the stretching or tearing of ligaments, typically around joints like the ankle or wrist. A strain is an overstretched or torn muscle or tendon, often due to overuse or sudden movement. Though symptoms may overlap, each condition requires specific care—prompt attention helps reduce pain, restore function, and prevent long-term complications.
Signs Indicating You Need to Visit Urgent Care:
- Sudden swelling or bruising around a joint or limb
- Inability to put weight on the injured area
- Sharp or persistent pain after a fall or twist
- Visible deformity or misalignment in a bone or joint
- Limited range of motion or stiffness that worsens
- Tingling, numbness, or weakness near the injury
- Pain that doesn’t improve with rest, ice, or over-the-counter medication
Musculoskeletal Conditions We Treat:
- Fractures: We evaluate and treat broken bones using on-site X-rays to determine the severity and location of the fracture. Whether it’s a hairline crack or a more obvious break, timely care is essential to ensure proper healing and alignment. We can provide splinting, stabilization, and referrals for advanced orthopedic care when necessary.
- Sprains: Sprains occur when ligaments—the tough bands connecting bones—are overstretched or torn. They’re most common in the ankles, wrists, and knees, often resulting from a fall or misstep. We assess the injury, provide supportive treatment like wraps or braces, and guide your recovery to prevent re-injury.
- Strains: Strains involve stretched or torn muscles or tendons, frequently caused by overuse of the muscle or improper lifting. Symptoms often include pain, muscle spasms, and limited movement. We help reduce inflammation, manage pain, and recommend steps to speed recovery through rest and therapeutic support.
- Joint/Muscle Pain: This discomfort may result from injury, inflammation, or overuse. We evaluate to determine the root cause and offer treatments to relieve pain. Whether acute or chronic, our care is focused on helping you regain comfort and movement.
- Tendinitis: Tendinitis is inflammation of a tendon, often caused by repetitive motion or strain. It commonly affects the shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, or heels. We treat tendinitis with rest strategies, anti-inflammatory support, and activity modifications to reduce irritation.
