When faced with the sudden pain and discomfort of a broken bone, sprain, or strain, it’s natural to feel concerned and unsure about the next steps. Our goal is to provide you with not only immediate and effective care but also the reassurance and information you need to begin your journey to recovery.
Injuries to bones, muscles, and ligaments can often manifest in similar ways, making it challenging to differentiate between a sprain, strain, or fracture without professional evaluation. Common symptoms include:
- Pain: The intensity can vary depending on the severity of the injury.
- Swelling: This is a natural response to injury, as the body tries to protect and start healing the affected area.
- Bruising or Discoloration: Often a sign of a more significant injury, such as a severe sprain or fracture.
- Limited Mobility: Difficulty moving the affected area or bearing weight on it is a common sign of these injuries.
It’s crucial to listen to your body. If you or a loved one experience severe pain, swelling, or difficulty moving a limb, it’s important to seek professional medical attention. Here are key indicators that you should visit our urgent care:
- Severe pain or swelling
- Deformity or unusual bending of a limb
- Popping or crunching sounds at the time of injury
- Inability to support weight or use the affected limb normally
- Symptoms that do not improve with basic first aid measures such as rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE)
