Orthopedic Services

Back, Neck & Spine

Back and neck injuries can occur from sports, exercise, workplace activities, motor vehicle accidents, and everyday tasks. Many common causes of back and neck pain improve with conservative treatment and do not require surgery. We evaluate conditions such as muscle strains, sciatica, spinal arthritis flare-ups, and other acute orthopedic injuries affecting the spine.

Knee

Knee pain can result from sports participation, overuse, accidental falls, or sudden twisting injuries. We evaluate a variety of common knee conditions, including sprains, strains, ligament injuries, contusions, and other orthopedic concerns. Our providers can recommend supportive treatment options to help reduce discomfort and improve mobility.

Hand & Wrist

Your hands and wrists play a role in nearly every daily activity, making injuries especially disruptive. Whether symptoms are caused by an accident, repetitive motion, or chronic wear and tear, we evaluate a range of conditions involving the hand and wrist. Common concerns include fractures, trigger finger, arthritis-related pain, and other musculoskeletal injuries.

Elbow

Elbow pain can affect both active individuals and those who perform repetitive tasks at work. We evaluate many common elbow injuries and conditions, including fractures, joint pain, dislocations, nursemaid's elbow, and other orthopedic concerns that may affect movement and function.

Foot & Ankle

Foot and ankle injuries are among the most common orthopedic conditions treated in urgent care. From ankle sprains and shin splints to plantar fasciitis and sports-related injuries, our providers can evaluate symptoms and recommend appropriate treatment options to help restore mobility and comfort.

If you can't make it to AFC immediately after an incident, use the R.I.C.E. method.

Rest – After an accident, get to a comfortable location as soon as possible, and rest to prevent additional strain on the injury.

Ice – Wrap an ice pack in a towel and apply it to the injury for 15 to 20 minutes. Reapply the ice every 3 hours. If you don’t have an ice pack, a bag of frozen produce will get the job done.

Compress – Put pressure on the injured area by wrapping it with an elastic bandage. Make sure the bandage is tight but not too tight. You can tell if the bandage is too tight when the injured area turns blue or starts feeling numb.

Elevate – To properly elevate your injury, position the injured area to rest above your heart. The most common way to elevate the injury is to stack several pillows under your foot, arm, ankle or leg while resting in bed or on a sofa.
