How to Know When You Need Orthopedic Urgent Care in South Jersey

The Urgent Care Clinics by Rothman Orthopaedic Institute treat your emergency injuries and symptoms quickly and comprehensively.

Orthopaedic injuries happen every day and some accidents require a visit to urgent care. Though not every uncomfortable condition is an emergency, pain can be an important and reliable indicator that you should urgently seek medical care. How can you tell the difference between a nonemergency and a time-sensitive injury? Here at Rothman Orthopaedic Institute, we recommend visiting our Orthopedic Urgent Care in South Jersey in every instance that you or a loved one experiences a sprain, strain, fracture, or tear.

Receive Expert Orthopaedic Care Right Away

Rothman Orthopaedic Institute’s orthopedic physicians specialize in treating injuries and chronic conditions of the skeleton and its associated structures, such as ligaments, joints, and cartilage. Although general emergency room services effectively treat emergency medical conditions and will offer referrals for an orthopaedist, patients can access expert orthopaedic care directly at our Urgent Care locations. We provide immediate intervention for complicated bone, joint, and ligament problems without the need for an appointment.

The following situations and symptoms typically qualify as emergency indicators and may require orthopedic urgent care in South Jersey. Don’t wait, if you are experiencing:
