When Urgent Care May Be the Right Choice for Your Orthopedic Injury

Not every orthopedic injury requires the emergency room. If you’re experiencing pain, swelling, bruising, or difficulty moving an injured body part after a fall, accident, sports activity, or other incident, urgent care may be an appropriate place to start.

AFC Urgent Care Denver Sloan’s Lake can evaluate many common injuries, including:

• Ankle, knee, and wrist sprains
• Muscle strains
• Shoulder injuries
• Joint injuries
• Minor fractures
• Finger, hand, and foot injuries
• Sports-related injuries
• Injuries caused by falls
• Repetitive motion and overuse injuries

If your injury requires additional care, our providers can explain your treatment options and recommend appropriate follow-up with an orthopedic specialist. Severe injuries (severe bleeding, obvious deformities, or other potentially life-threatening symptoms) should be treated immediately at the ER.

When to Expect When You Visit AFC Denver Sloan’s Lake

When you visit AFC Urgent Care Sloan’s Lake for an injury, your provider will start by asking questions about how the injury occurred, where you’re experiencing pain, and whether you’ve noticed symptoms like swelling, weakness, numbness, or limited mobility. A physical examination helps determine which structures may have been affected and whether diagnostic imaging is appropriate. When necessary, on-site digital X-rays can help identify many fractures and other bone-related injuries. Depending on your diagnosis, treatment may include stabilization, recommendations for managing pain, activity modifications, and instructions for follow-up care.
