Injuries and accidents usually happen without warning and may require seeing a doctor within a few hours. If you or your child's doctor isn’t immediately available and the injury doesn’t require emergency room attention, AFC Urgent Care can help.
Minor injuries are defined as an injury that is not life-threatening and will not lead to permanent or serious damage. Minor injuries must be treated so they do not cause any further complications. AFC Urgent Care is specifically designed to treat minor injuries and it is an excellent option for convenient and compassionate care.
Examples of Minor Injury
Minor injuries can be painful and inconvenient even though they don’t threaten your life, long-term survival, or mobility. For minor injuries that involve only moderate pain, limited motion, minimal swelling or other mild symptoms, save time and money by visiting an urgent care clinic for treatment. Urgent care clinics are limited in their ability to manage serious or life-threatening problems, but they can effectively treat most minor injuries and provide relief from symptoms. Don’t wait to see if the injury gets better on its own; this can sometimes lead to complications. If your symptoms are severe enough to make you consider getting help, you probably need to get it.
Examples of minor injuries include the following:
Sports injuries
Fractures
Sprains
Back pain
Cuts
Lacerations
Burns
