Treatment for Bone Fractures in Miami-Dade

For minor bone fractures, you don’t need to endure a long wait at a local emergency room. Instead, head to a nearby UHealth Jackson Urgent Care center.

You can walk in without an appointment and be seen quickly by an urgent care doctor.

How Our Urgent Care Can Help

Our doctors and providers care for babies, toddlers, adults, and the elderly with bone fractures. We have advanced digital X-ray capabilities at each of our centers, and every imaging scan is read by both an onsite physician and a specialized UHealth radiologist.

The healing process and recovery for bone fractures varies depending on the bone that is broken, the severity of the break, and many other factors. We’ll let you know how long your fracture may take to heal and when you can resume your normal activities.

While we can treat minor bone fractures, you should seek care at a nearby ER if:

• The suspected bone fracture is accompanied by heavy bleeding
• Gentle pressure or movement causes severe pain
• A bone has pierced the skin (known as a compound fracture)
• Numbness or tingling sensations are felt in an arm or leg
• Your head, neck, back, or hip is affected
