When should I schedule a visit for minor injuries?

You might also need medical attention if you have persistent symptoms of an injury that aren’t going away. These symptoms include:

What happens during an urgent care visit for minor injuries?

During your visit to Wylie Walk In Urgent Care, the providers review your medical history, symptoms, and the event that led to the injury. They also complete a thorough physical exam and might order X-rays, bloodwork, or other lab tests to evaluate your condition.

For minor cuts and other wounds, the providers clean your skin and remove any debris to prevent infection. They might also prescribe antibiotics and topical medication to support the wound’s healing.

If you have pain from a muscle sprain or ligament strain, you can use over-the-counter medication to relieve inflammation and pain. The providers might also recommend ice therapy, elevating the affected area, and limiting some activities. If they suspect you have a fracture or a soft-tissue tear, the medical providers will refer you to an orthopedic specialist for specialized care.
