Why X-Rays Are Important After an Injury

Many injuries affecting the bones and joints cannot be accurately diagnosed through a physical exam alone. X-ray imaging provides a clear look at the internal structure of bones, allowing providers to identify fractures, joint misalignment, or other abnormalities that may be causing pain.

Diagnostic imaging is often recommended when patients experience:

• Pain after a fall, collision, or accident
• Sudden swelling around a joint
• Bruising combined with difficulty moving a limb
• Pain that worsens when weight is applied
• Limited range of motion following an injury
• Facial trauma that may involve the nasal bones

When a patient visits AFC Urgent Care Denver Highlands, our providers begin with a thorough evaluation of the injury. If imaging is needed, digital X-rays can typically be performed immediately, helping our team confirm a diagnosis and recommend the most effective treatment plan.

All images are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist for professional interpretation, ensuring accuracy in diagnosis.
