URGENT ORTHOPEDIC CARE

• Sprains and strains: Sudden injuries to ligaments or muscles causing pain, swelling, or limited movement. Think sprained ankle, sprained wrist, sprained elbow, strained hamstring, etc.
• Minor fractures and breaks: Small bone fractures that don't involve severe deformity or open wounds. Distal radius fractures (i.e., broken wrists), suspected fractures to humerus, for example.
• Joint Dislocation: Joints that have been displaced but can be managed without complex emergency intervention.
• Sports injuries: Injuries like tendonitis, bursitis, or minor tears that need quick assessment and treatment, especially if they occurred during recent activity.
• Back or neck pain: Sudden onset of pain without neurological symptoms such as numbness or weakness. This could include sudden lumbar pain (lower back), cervical pain (neck), or SI joint pain.
• Persistent joint pain or swelling: When pain or swelling develops rapidly but isn't accompanied by severe trauma.
• Other trauma: If you think you could have a finger fracture, elbow contusion, plantar fasciitis, toe or foot fracture, pulled muscle or torn ligament - OrthoSouth's urgent ortho care is here for you.
