What Does Urgent Care Treat?
Urgent care centers can treat most non-life-threatening injuries and illnesses. Through testing, with x-rays and bloodwork as needed, they can diagnose and treat the majority of cases on-site without having to send the patient for additional testing. They can prescribe medications, administer IV medications and monitor patients’ symptoms to help them with diagnosing the cause of concern while keeping the patient as comfortable as possible. Urgent care centers are also able to stitch open wounds and apply casts or splints to broken bones where required.
