What does trauma care involve?
First, your Blue Star Urgent Care provider diagnoses your condition and addresses any pain. They review your medical history and perform a comprehensive physical exam.
If imaging tests are necessary, they use their in-office X-ray to further evaluate your injury and arrive at a diagnosis.
Then, they initiate prompt treatment. Depending on your specific needs, trauma care may include:
- Wound care, including stitches, staples, and bandaging
- Pain medication
- Anti-inflammatory medication
- Antibiotic medication
- Casting or bracing
- Supportive devices like crutches or a sling
- Foreign object removal
They may also recommend follow-up care, such as physical therapy. For injuries that happen at work, Blue Star Urgent Care assists with workers’ compensation claims.
