When your student-athlete gets injured during Friday night football or a weekend basketball tournament, you can’t wait days for an appointment. And you shouldn’t spend hours in a crowded Indianapolis emergency room. That’s where OrthoIndy urgent care for sports injuries makes all the difference for Central Indiana families.
Why choose OrthoIndy Urgent Care for your young athlete?
Unlike typical urgent care clinics, OrthoIndy’s five urgent care locations in Brownsburg, Fishers, Greenwood, Northwest Indianapolis and Westfield focus exclusively on orthopedic sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions. Our urgent care teams understand exactly how ankle sprains, wrist fractures, shoulder dislocations and ACL injuries affect high school, middle school and college athletes’ performance and recovery.
No appointment is needed – just walk into any of our convenient Central Indiana locations. With extended hours Monday through Friday (8 am to 7:30 pm at most locations) and weekend availability, student-athletes can get evaluated right after practice, games or weekend tournaments.
Advanced on-site sports medicine technology
At OrthoIndy urgent care locations, on-site X-rays speed up diagnosis, while splints and braces can be applied immediately. This means your teen athlete gets accurate diagnosis and treatment without multiple trips across Indianapolis.
When our urgent care providers determine that specialized sports medicine care is needed, referrals to OrthoIndy’s board-certified orthopedic physicians happen seamlessly, keeping your student-athlete’s care coordinated and comprehensive.
The science behind quick sports injury treatment
Research proves early intervention matters for young athletes. A 2025 study in JOSPT Open found that starting physical therapy within the first two days after an acute musculoskeletal injury was linked to shorter recovery times and fewer physical therapy sessions overall. Prompt orthopedic care doesn’t just help student-athletes feel better sooner, it gets them back to their sport safely and reduces the risk of re-injury.
Real results for Central Indiana families
“OrthoIndy Urgent Care was great,” says Lena Juliano, whose son Jameson was treated for a broken ankle at OrthoIndy Urgent Care in Brownsburg. “The location and hours are convenient. Instead of taking my son out of school, I was able to go afterward,” she says. “There was almost no wait, and they handled my little one quickly and with care.”
