More than 90 percent of back and neck pain can significantly improve without surgery. We treat acute to mild conditions like sciatica, muscle strain, spinal arthritis and other common injuries.
Most knee injuries are a result of tears, sprains, strains, dislocations and ligament tears. We evaluate and provide partial bracing for common injuries like sprains, contusions and general injuries from sports and accidental falls.
Whether your pain is from an accident or day-to-day movements, hand and wrist pain can be inconvenient. For most common injuries like trigger finger, fractures, carpal tunnel and arthritis, we can help restore or manage your pain with nonsurgical alternatives.
Elbow injuries often occur from both accidents and normal wear and tear. We treat a range of injuries and conditions like fractures and breaks, nurse maid elbow, joint pain, dislocation and more.
More than 25 percent of sport and exercise injuries are foot and ankle injuries. Fortunately, we treat several of these common foot and ankle injuries like rolled ankles, turf toe, plantar fasciitis, shin splints and more.
If you can't make it to AFC immediately after an incident, use the
R.I.C.E. method.
Rest – After an accident, get to a comfortable location as soon as possible, and rest to prevent additional strain on the injury.
Ice – Wrap an ice pack in a towel and apply it to the injury for 15 to 20 minutes. Reapply the ice every 3 hours. If you don’t have an ice pack, a bag of frozen produce will get the job done.
Compress – Put pressure on the injured area by wrapping it with an elastic bandage. Make sure the bandage is tight but not too tight. You can tell if the bandage is too tight when the injured area turns blue or starts feeling numb.
Elevate – To properly elevate your injury, position the injured area to rest above your heart. The most common way to elevate the injury is to stack several pillows under your foot, arm, ankle or leg while resting in bed or on a sofa.
Don't wait to get the medical attention you need.
