Get Sprained Ankle Treatment Fast at Our Urgent Care Clinic Near Somers Point, NJ
Did you twist your ankle while chasing after your toddler on the beach? Or step awkwardly during your morning jog? And now you’re down on the ground, watching your ankle swell and wondering if you’ll be able to hobble home.
Sprained ankles are common injuries that often heal on their own with rest and ice therapy—but it’s not always easy to tell a sprained ankle from a broken one. What’s more, even an ankle sprain should be treated by a medical practitioner if it’s severe.
Fortunately for those in the Somers Point, New Jersey, area, Cape Regional Urgent Care offers reliable sprained ankle treatment and other nonemergency medical services to walk-in patients of all ages during extended hours every day of the week. If you’re in the Somers Point area, you can take a short drive to our Marmora urgent care location, where you’ll experience a short wait time and treatment for your ankle injury by a board-certified doctor.
When to See a Doctor for Sprained Ankle Treatment
The symptoms of a sprained ankle can be quite similar to those of a broken ankle. Typically, the symptoms include ankle swelling, bruising, and pain. If you can bear weight on your ankle, you likely have a sprain. On the other hand, severe pain, inability to bear weight, or a change in the shape of your ankle are all signs that you may have a broken ankle that requires urgent medical care. In some cases, though, your broken ankle may feel numb instead of sore.
Generally, if you have any doubt as to whether your ankle injury is a sprain or a fracture, it’s a good idea to seek immediate medical treatment. At Cape Regional Urgent Care, we have digital X-ray equipment that can help our skilled physicians accurately diagnose your injury and provide an effective treatment plan, whether you have a sprained ankle or a fracture.
