Same-day Orthopedic Injury Care

Broken bones, twisted ankles and sprained wrists can’t wait. It’s easy to rush to an urgent care clinic or hospital emergency room for quick treatment. But, seeking the care of a Novant Health orthopedist might be a better solution to returning to the activities you enjoy. We have X-rays available on-site as well as in-office bracing and casting to help you recover from injury faster. An orthopedist can care for you during every step from diagnosis to surgery, if required.

Our expert orthopedic and sports medicine care teams offer same-day appointments and walk-in care. Whether you're a new or existing patient, all you need to do is walk in or call. No need to be in pain one minute longer.

Know when to go

There are times when a trip to urgent care is advised. If an injury appears to be life-threatening, an emergency room is best-suited for that. And after-hours injuries should be seen as soon as possible – and that means getting to the ER or urgent care. But twists and sprains, joint pain, fractures, arthritis – those are the types of injuries orthopedists see all day, every day.

When to seek immediate orthopedic care

Acute Injuries within 24-48 hours
Fractures
Tendon and ligament sprains and strains
Falls/Trips
Sports related injuries

When to make an appointment

Chronic joint pain (other than back/neck/spine)
Pain/Difficulty while performing daily activities
Limited range of motion
Pain for greater than 48 hours not associated with an acute injury
