When to Seek Medical Care for a Workplace Injury
Injuries can happen without warning. Sometimes, it may be difficult to tell whether you should get an injury checked out by a medical professional or not. In many cases, the thought of waiting hours in the emergency room may deter you from wanting to seek medical care for a minor injury. However, injuries can be masked by adrenaline when they first happen. Seeking early medical care for an injury is the best way to ensure that your injury heals properly. Delaying treatment can lead to further damage occurring, which can prolong your healing. Urgent care is a great resource if you need prompt medical care for a non-life-threatening injury.
Examples of common injuries we treat include:
- Fractured bones
- Fall injuries
- Lacerations that require stitches
- Minor burns
- Dislocated joints
- Sprains

Seeking delayed care for an injury can cause further damage and lengthen your recovery time. When in doubt, it's always better to be safe rather than sorry and seek medical evaluation for an injury sustained in the workplace.
When you visit urgent care for a workplace injury, your medical provider will conduct a thorough evaluation of the affected area. They may ask how the accident happened to determine whether any diagnostic testing is required. X-ray images may be taken to evaluate the damage in better detail. Based on the initial evaluation and the results from any diagnostic tests performed, your medical provider will create a custom treatment plan for your injury to help you get back to work as quickly as possible.
