When an injury strikes, your first instinct might be to head straight to the emergency room. But for most bone, joint and muscle injuries, there’s a faster, more affordable option – OrthoIndy Urgent Care.
Emergency rooms treat everything from heart attacks to car accident trauma, which means patients with orthopedic injuries often get pushed down the priority list. The result may include hours of waiting, alongside people who are very sick, before you even see a doctor.
At OrthoIndy Urgent Care, there’s no competing with life-threatening emergencies. You’ll typically be seen by an orthopedic expert in less than an hour or two. That means more time recovering at home and less time sitting in a waiting room.
Save money, get the right care
A trip to the ER can cost thousands of dollars – often more than you need to spend for an orthopedic injury.
OrthoIndy Urgent Care gives you the same expert evaluation and on-site X-rays for a fraction of the cost. Whether you have a PPO or a high-deductible plan, your out-of-pocket expenses are significantly lower than what you’d face at the ER.
Expertise you won’t find everywhere
While the ER can treat broken bones and sprains, it’s not their specialty. At OrthoIndy Urgent Care, you’re evaluated by orthopedic-focused providers who treat bone, joint and sports injuries every single day. Services you can expect, include:
- Taking and reading X-rays
- Stabilizing injuries with splints, braces, slings and wraps
- Providing wound care for cuts and abrasions
- Coordinating follow-up care directly with OrthoIndy specialists, often the same day or next day, when needed
When to choose the ER instead
Head to the ER for:
- Severe bleeding that won’t stop
- Open fractures (bone sticking through the skin)
- Head, neck or back injuries with neurological symptoms
- Chest pain, difficulty breathing or other serious medical conditions
The smarter choice for most injuries
For sprains, strains, simple fractures, dislocations, sports injuries and sudden back or neck pain, skip the wait and the high bill. OrthoIndy Urgent Care gets you in faster, treats you for less and sends you home with a plan to get back on your feet.
