Get an Immediate Treatment for Minor Cuts and Falls

Cuts, scrapes, and falls are common injuries in our day-to-day life. While walking on an uneven surface or wet floor can cause a fall, scrapes are often caused by slips and falls. Minor cuts and deep lacerations can result from accidental contact with a sharp object or while slicing vegetables/fruits. Though common, these injuries require professional treatment to ensure proper healing while reducing the risk of infection and recurrent injuries. At One Medical Center, we can effectively diagnose and treat your cuts and falls with personalized care and attention.

Right Time to Seek Urgent Care for a Cut or Fall

While minor cuts and scrapes can heal with rest and over-the-counter medications, deep cuts and major falls require medical assistance, as they have a high risk of being infected or fractured. You must visit an urgent care center for a cut or fall if it causes:

Intense pain

Swelling

Bleeding

Blood Clotting

If bleeding does not stop even after applying pressure, stitches may be needed. Pain and swelling may indicate a bone fracture or dislocation. So, experiencing any of these symptoms requires an urgent care visit.

You should visit an emergency room if you experience a stab wound or are hit by a moving vehicle.

Diagnosing and Treating Lacerations, Cuts, and Falls

Upon experiencing a cut or laceration, ensure to clean the wound with water and apply pressure to it with a clean cloth to prevent or slow down the bleeding. Once your bleeding is controlled, visit our urgent care center for further treatment.

We will thoroughly clean and evaluate your wound to recommend the best treatment, which may include:

Sutures, staples, pressure dressing, or wound adhesives to close your wound properly to expedite healing.

Prescribe antibiotics if your wound is infected, causing redness, swelling, pain, drainage, etc.

Tetanus shot if your wound is from an animal or insect bite.

To diagnose fall injuries, we may perform the following:

Physical Examination – To check inflammation and intensity of pain in the affected area.

X-Rays - To determine the injury’s severity and rule out fractures and dislocations.

Based on your test results, we may recommend any of the following treatment options to treat your fall injuries:

Rest – If your fall is minor, rest is recommended for a few days to help heal the affected muscles.

Chiropractic Care – Includes massage therapy, electric stim therapy, and spinal manipulation to heal your injuries.

Physical Therapy – Includes exercises and stretches to restore the functionality and moving ability of the affected area while reducing pain and preventing recurrent injuries.

You must go to an ER (emergency room) if your fall injury is serious, causing traumatic brain injuries, broken bones with skin disruption, etc.
