Urgent Care for Orthopedic Injuries in Austin

At AFC Urgent Care Austin, we provide walk-in orthopedic care for non-life-threatening injuries affecting the bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments. Our goal is to quickly evaluate your condition, provide relief, and help you start healing as soon as possible. 

Instead of waiting hours in an emergency room, patients can visit our clinic for efficient, same-day care. With extended hours and no appointment required, getting treatment is simple and convenient. 

Orthopedic Conditions We Treat 

Our experienced medical team evaluates and treats a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries caused by sports, falls, workplace incidents, and overuse. 

Common conditions we treat include: 

• Knee sprains, ligament injuries, and strains 
• Shoulder injuries and overuse conditions 
• Back pain and muscle strains 
• Elbow injuries, including tennis elbow and pediatric conditions 
• Hand and wrist injuries, such as fractures or tendonitis 
• Foot and ankle injuries, including sprains and stress injuries 
• Shin splints and soft tissue injuries 
• Suspected fractures requiring imaging 

If you’re experiencing swelling, bruising, stiffness, or limited movement, it’s important to have your injury evaluated to avoid complications and promote proper healing. 

On-Site Evaluation and X-Ray Services 

When you visit our clinic, our providers begin with a thorough assessment, including a review of your symptoms, medical history, and a physical exam. 

If needed, we offer on-site digital X-rays to help diagnose fractures, joint injuries, and other structural concerns quickly. 

To support recovery, we may provide: 

• Braces 
• Splints 
• Walking boots 
• Crutches 

These supports help stabilize the injured area, reduce strain, and protect it during the healing process or while awaiting follow-up care. 

At-Home Care for Minor Injuries 

If you’re unable to seek care right away, there are simple steps you can take to help manage discomfort. The commonly recommended R.I.C.E. method can help reduce swelling and pain: 

• Rest – Avoid activities that worsen the injury 
• Ice – Apply cold packs for 15–20 minutes at a time 
• Compression – Use a bandage to help control swelling 
• Elevation – Keep the injured area raised when possible 

These measures can provide temporary relief until you’re able to be evaluated by a medical provider. 

Injury Care by Body Area 

Back and Neck Pain 

Back and neck injuries can result from lifting, poor posture, or sudden movement. Our providers assess the source of pain and recommend treatment to improve comfort and mobility. 

Knee Injuries 

Knee injuries often occur during sports or twisting movements. We evaluate stability, swelling, and range of motion to determine the best course of care. 

Hand and Wrist Injuries 

Hand and wrist injuries can impact daily tasks. Our team treats fractures, sprains, and repetitive-use conditions to help restore function. 

Elbow Injuries 

Elbow pain may develop from overuse or trauma. We assess conditions such as strains, fractures, and joint irritation.
