Walk-In X-Rays for a Variety of Medical Needs
Most people associate X-rays with broken bones, and rightly so: X-ray imaging is the most common and reliable tool for diagnosing fractures. This quick, noninvasive imaging technique works by capturing differences in tissue density inside the body. For example, in radiographic images, bones appear white while fractures show up as dark lines or gaps. By analyzing these detailed visuals, a physician can identify a broken bone and assess its location, type, and severity. Based on this information, the physician can develop an appropriate treatment plan to promote proper healing, such as immobilizing the affected bone with a cast or walking boot for several weeks.
In addition to fractures, X-rays can be used to diagnose:
- Other bone-related conditions, such as joint dislocations and arthritis in the hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders, hips, knees, ankles, and feet
- Chest and respiratory illnesses, such as pneumonia and fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema)
- Abdominal issues, such as kidney stones, digestive blockages, and swallowed foreign objects
Why Choose Cape Regional Urgent Care for Walk-in X-Rays?
If you have an injury or unexplained pain, your first instinct might be to go to an emergency unit, which is available to everyone 24/7/365.

What’s more, it will probably cause you additional stress in the form of a long wait, large crowd, and high co-pay.
