A minor or major injury is damage to your body. In general, it refers to harm caused by an accident, falls, hit, weapons, and more. Millions of people injure themselves each year around the US, these injuries range from minor to life-threatening. Injuries can happen anywhere from work or play, indoors or outdoors, driving a motor vehicle, or even walking across the street.
Wounds are considered injuries that break the skin or other body tissues. This can include anything from cuts, scrapes, scratches, and punctured skin. They most often happen from an accident, but surgeries, sutures, and stitches are also considered to cause wounds. Minor wounds usually aren’t serious; however, they must be cleaned up and inspected by a medical professional to make sure everything will heal correctly.
An unexpected injury can happen at any time, so receiving trusted care for your minor injuries is a must. Our experienced urgent care physicians can treat minor injuries and help to make sure your injury can heal properly without any lasting damage or offer recommendations for specialists if it becomes worse.
Common minor injuries we see daily include:
• Broken bones
• Burns
• Cuts and bruises
• Ear infections
• Insect and animal bites
• Lacerations
• Sprains, strains and fractures
• Dislocations
• Electrical injuries and many more
A minor injury can be considered different for everyone. As you age, your bones become more brittle, so a minor injury from a fall could lead to more major damage down the road. It is always best to seek medical attention if the wound is deep, you cannot close it yourself, you cannot stop the bleeding or get any dirt out, or it is not healing correctly. Also if you have any pain from falling or an accident like a car crash, that could be a sign of a sprain, fracture, dislocation, or broken bones. All of these and many more are considered in need of seeking medical attention to get them examined and diagnosed to help you heal faster.
Injuries are inevitable, especially during the warmer months when you are out enjoying the beautiful weather the most. When something comes up, how do you know if it’s serious enough to visit your family doctor to have it looked at? Our urgent care physicians can treat most non-life-threatening conditions like acute injuries.
Non-life-threatening injuries include:
• Minor aches and pains
• Sprains
• Injuries that may require stitches
• Minor fractures
• Superficial cuts, scrapes or bruises
However, if you are dealing with a life-threatening situation that warrants immediate emergency medical attention, visit your nearest hospital emergency room for treatment. This can include:
• Seizures
• Major head injuries
• Ingestion of poison
• Snake bites
• Severe burns
• Chest pain or any signs of a heart attack or stroke etc.
