Common Treatments For Injuries

Stitches

Cuts and gashes happen as a result of trauma to the skin. Depending on how bad the cut is, it may require stitches to aid in healing and minimize scarring. If you are unsure whether you need stitches or not, come in and see us at AFC Fort Collins. Our providers will do the following:

• Clean your wounds
• Measure the wound & check how deep the cut is
• Provide stitches if needed
• If we feel your cut is too large or life-threatening, we may refer you to the nearest ER for more complex treatment.

X-Rays

If you believe you have broken or fractured a bone or suffered a sprain, we have you covered! AFC Fort Collins has an X-ray machine on-site. We can do your X-rays, review them and analyze your injury to determine the type of care it may require. Treatment for sprains and fractures may include bandages, soft casts, hard casts, or ice and rest.

Burn Relief

Severe burns need to be treated at the emergency room, but AFC Fort Collins can help treat more minor burns. Individuals with first-degree and small second-degree burns can choose urgent care instead of the emergency room, allowing them to be seen faster. Second-degree burns affect both the inner and outer layers of the skin and cause blistering. Doctors at urgent care centers may use an antibiotic cream or clean the burn to prevent infection.

Did you know we have a complex in-house lab for our testing services? This means faster more accurate results! This also reduces costs and fees for you. At AFC Urgent Care Fort Collins our mission is to provide the best healthcare possible in a kind and caring environment, in an economical manner, while respecting the rights of all of our patients, at times and locations convenient to the patient.
