It may seem like a broken bone will always be obvious, but that is just not the case. Often, minor fractures may not seem as important as they actually are at first. However, if left untreated, these fractures can become increasingly worse, making the eventual recovery process longer and more complex. That is why East County Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic suggests that our patients seek medical treatment immediately if they have sustained an injury. Our experienced physicians can diagnose your condition accurately, allowing for you to receive the appropriate treatment. There are several different types of fractures a person can sustain, so let our doctors help you fully understand the implications and requirements of your injury.
Sprains and strains are a very common injury that results when ligaments within a joint stretch or tear. Our doctors can assess the severity of your sprain and provide you with the information you need to ensure you heal completely. Many sprains can be mostly treated at home with rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the injured area. Over the counter medication can also be helpful in reducing inflammation and pain as you continue to heal. However, more severe sprains, such as those that include a tear of the ligament, may eventually require surgical intervention for repair. At East County Urgent Care and Walk-In Clinic, we can help you understand the extent of your sprain and provide you with information about your treatment options.
