Greater Charlotte families and athletes have a new resource for quick and specialized orthopedic and sports medicine care. The newly-opened Atrium Health Orthopedic Urgent Care located at 3030 Randolph Road, offers walk-in care for orthopedic and sports injuries, 7 days a week. This new location makes it easier than ever to access injury care, with afternoon and weekend hours, helping patients quickly return to their favorite activities pain-free.
“In orthopedics, the key to a fast recovery is early assessment, diagnosis and treatment,” says Daniel Jacobs, Assistant Director of Advanced Practice, Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute. “By offering this orthopedic urgent care location, patients gain access to specialized care any day of the week, ensuring prompt and convenient treatment from orthopedic experts. This minimizes delays in care and supports faster recovery times.”
Unlike a general emergency room visit, Atrium Health Orthopedic Urgent Care focuses solely on orthopedic conditions. This ensures patients receive treatment from experts who specialize in orthopedic injuries, which often leads to a more accurate diagnosis. By visiting this specialized urgent care, patients also avoid the long wait times often associated with traditional emergency departments, gaining the benefit of quickly seeing an orthopedic specialist.
Student-athletes, in particular, benefit from this new Atrium Health Orthopedic Urgent Care. As the Official Health Care Provider for Charlotte Mecklenburg, Union County, Cabarrus County, Lincoln County, and Fort Mill Schools, Atrium Health athletic trainers already provide top-notch sideline medical care during practices and games. But with the added benefit of evening and weekend hours, this new practice affords athletes and families with convenient care, when they need it most.
“We can enhance the care athletes receive, no matter when an injury happens,” says Daniel. “Our athletic trainers seamlessly refer injured athletes for further evaluation and management at the Atrium Health Orthopedic Urgent Care, ensuring continuity and quality of care.”
