When it comes to diagnosing injuries or medical conditions, X-rays are one of the most effective tools available. At our urgent care centers, we offer on-site X-ray services to ensure quick and accurate diagnoses, saving you time and helping you get the treatment you need sooner.
What Are X-Rays?
X-rays are a widely used and highly effective type of medical imaging test that utilizes a small, controlled dose of radiation to capture detailed pictures of the structures inside your body. This technology allows healthcare providers to visualize areas that are not visible to the naked eye, making it an invaluable tool in modern medicine. X-rays are commonly employed to examine bones and joints, such as identifying fractures, dislocations, or conditions like arthritis. They can also provide insight into certain soft tissues, such as detecting abnormalities in the lungs or assessing the size and shape of organs.
What We Use X-Rays For
Our urgent care X-ray services are available to assess a variety of conditions, including:
Fractures and Dislocations
- Identifying broken bones or joint dislocations caused by falls, sports injuries, or accidents.
Sprains and Strains
- Ensuring no fractures accompany ligament or muscle injuries.
Chest Conditions
- Detecting conditions such as pneumonia, bronchitis, or rib fractures.
Abdominal Pain
- Evaluating potential causes, such as blockages or kidney stones.
Foreign Objects
- Locating and identifying objects that may have been swallowed or embedded in soft tissue.
