Sprains, strains and minor injuries
Many urgent care clinics have X-ray on site, so a provider can check whether an injury is a sprain or something that needs a splint or specialist referral.
Go to the ER or call 911 if
- Bone visible or limb clearly deformed
- Numbness, cold, or blue color past the injury
- Injury from a high-speed crash or major fall
What urgent care can usually do
- On-site X-ray at many locations

- Referral to orthopedics if needed
What to bring
- How the injury happened
- Comfortable clothing that's easy to remove from the area
