🩹 TREATMENT FOR MINOR CUTS

Cuts, scrapes, and abrasions

Minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions can occur from accidents, falls, or sharp objects. Our providers are skilled at assessing and treating these wounds to prevent infection and promote healing.

Cleaning and dressing — thorough cleaning to remove debris and bacteria, followed by appropriate dressing

Stitches or staples — if the cut is deeper or requires closure to heal properly

Tetanus shot — ensuring your vaccination is up to date, especially for cuts from rusty or contaminated objects

🦴 MANAGEMENT OF SPRAINS

Ankle, wrist, and knee sprains

Sprains involve stretching or tearing of ligaments, often in joints like ankles, wrists, or knees. We offer comprehensive care to reduce pain, support healing, and get you moving again.

RICE therapy — Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation to reduce pain and swelling

Splinting or bracing — support for the affected joint to prevent further injury and promote healing

Physical therapy referrals — when needed to regain strength and range of motion

On-site X-ray — to rule out fracture when needed, reviewed same visit

✂️ For cuts — come in if:

→ Deep cuts that won’t stop bleeding after applying pressure

→ Signs of infection — increased pain, redness, swelling, warmth, or discharge

→ Cuts caused by rusty or dirty objects

→ Cuts in sensitive areas — face, hands, or joints

🦶 For sprains — come in if:

→ Severe pain or swelling after a fall or twist

→ Difficulty bearing weight or moving the injured area

→ Bruising or visible deformity around the joint

→ Symptoms that don’t improve after a few days of home care

🔗 We communicate with your PCP

After your visit we send test results, wound care notes, and any paperwork to your primary care physician so your care continues seamlessly. We take pride in coordinating care — not just treating and discharging.
