Online online orthopedic urgent care visits are an accessible, affordable way to access medical care for non-severe injuries. This can help your doctor get ahead of it and craft a treatment that prevents further pain and discomfort.

In some cases, you may need to book an in-person visit for a definitive diagnosis. If follow-up imaging or a physical examination is required, your provider will tell you how to proceed. Certain orthopedic injuries can only be diagnosed via an X-ray scan. This will require a visit to a clinic or imaging lab. If an in-person or follow-up appointment is needed, your provider will discuss the next steps with you.

If you're experiencing a serious injury, like a broken bone or a life-threatening condition, call 911 immediately or visit an emergency room.
