Fast Treatment at Orthopaedic Urgent Care
Expert Care for Sprains, Strains, Fractures, and More
Knee injuries, ankle sprains, dislocated shoulders, and broken bones occur without warning. When they happen, skip the crowded ER and general urgent care. That’s for sick people. Duke Orthopaedic Urgent Care offers fast treatment for your injury for lower co-pays and minimal exposure to illness. Open daily. No appointment needed.
Why You Should Visit Orthopaedic Urgent Care
Unlike general urgent care, Duke orthopaedic urgent care clinics specialists treat injuries to bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons right in our clinic. Visit orthopaedic urgent care for new or recent:
- Sprains, strains, and tears
- Broken bones and closed fractures
- Joint pain and dislocations
- Sports injuries
- Back and neck pain (not caused by major trauma)
When to Call 911 or Visit the Emergency Room
The following injuries are not treated at an orthopaedic urgent care clinic. Call 911 or visit the emergency room for:
- Open fractures (bone poking through skin)
- Head and facial trauma
- Partial and full amputation
- Chest pain and injuries
Orthopaedic urgent care is also not appropriate for initial visits following a motor vehicle accident, injuries sustained at work, or diagnosed shoulder dislocations.
