Do you enjoy participating in team sports like baseball, basketball, football, hockey, or soccer? Or, do you prefer to work out on your own, perhaps by biking, dancing, running, swimming, or weightlifting? Sports injuries are common across all types of athletic pursuits, so no matter what your workout preferences might be, chances are high that you’ll require treatment at some point during your life.
Fortunately, if you’re in Connecticut or New York, you can entrust your sports injury treatment needs to the skilled team at Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care. Our physician-founded practice has been serving this region since 2008, and we have experience treating a wide array of minor injuries, including various sports injuries. Throughout our many years in practice, we’ve earned a reputation for providing professional, fast, and friendly urgent care that delivers an exceptional experience to every patient, every time.
At Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care, we treat a wide range of minor sports injuries. Some of the ones we most commonly see include:
When you visit Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care for sports injury treatment, we’ll begin by reviewing your medical history and asking about your injury (for example, when and how it occurred, what symptoms you’re experiencing, and whether at-home remedies have provided any relief). Next, we’ll perform a thorough examination.
In many cases, we can diagnose sports injuries without the need for any further diagnostic testing. However, in some instances, we may recommend that you undergo X-rays to confirm or rule out a suspected injury. If you require imaging, you’ll be glad to know that we can perform X-rays on site (please call ahead for same-day X-ray availability).
Once we’ve diagnosed your sports injury, we’ll recommend the treatment approach that’s most appropriate for your specific circumstances. We’ll administer any necessary treatments on site and provide you with detailed instructions on how to care for your injury at home. In the event that we determine that your sports injury is too complex to be treated at an urgent care center, we can refer you to a specialist for further care.
If you think you might have sustained a sports injury, you shouldn’t delay seeking treatment. Many of these injuries can worsen if left untreated—for example, if a fracture heals improperly, it can lead to a deformity, an infection, or other complications—so it’s important that you consult with a professional as soon as possible.
Luckily, at Yale New Haven Health Urgent Care, we make it easy for you to receive sports injury treatment. Our locations in Connecticut and New York are all open 365 days per year with extended hours, and we always have walk-in availability (although you can opt to book a visit online, if preferred). You can also speak to a local provider about your minor sports injury using our 24/7 integrated telehealth service. No matter which option you choose, you can look forward to receiving quality care that’s delivered with ease and speed.
