How does OrthoExpress diagnosis and treatment work?

At the Center for Orthopaedics, everything you need is under one roof. You’ll usually receive all your care, from initial assessment to diagnostic testing and treatment, at the same place. Within 24 hours of your initial contact, you’ll see an experienced orthopedic medicine specialist. Depending on your diagnosis, you can expect to receive treatment during the same visit.

The Center for Orthopaedics team specializes in acute joint and bone injuries and commonly makes closed reductions (restoring a bone’s position without surgery), fracture repairs, casting, and other necessary treatments.

What should I do when I suffer an orthopedic injury?

When you suffer any injury involving your musculoskeletal system, the most important thing is to stop your activity immediately. For example, if you sprain your ankle or break a bone while playing your favorite sport, never play through it, even if the injury seems minor at first.

Continued pressure on an injury can make a bad situation much worse. Apply an ice pack to prevent or reduce swelling and numb pain and elevate the affected body part if possible.

Contact the Center for Orthopaedics as soon as you can. A friendly team member can arrange your appointment to see an orthopedic doctor in a day or less. In the meantime, continue with rest, ice, and elevation, along with over-the-counter pain relievers if needed.

When you suffer an injury at work, at home, on the road, or on the playing field, call the Center for Orthopaedics right away or use the online scheduling tool to request an OrthoExpress appointment.
