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.
Advanced Digital Imaging Available On-Site at AFC Denver Highlands
Our urgent care center uses modern technology to capture high-resolution images quickly and efficiently. Compared
to
traditional film X-rays, digital imaging produces clearer results in less time while reducing radiation exposure
for
patients. Our providers are able to review images shortly after they are taken, helping speed up the diagnostic
process and reduce wait time. All images are reviewed by a board-certified radiologist for professional
interpretation, ensuring accuracy in diagnosis.

- Hands, fingers, and wrists
