BROKEN BONES
Heal Your Broken Bones Through Our Urgent Care
Broken bones often happen after an accident like a fall or being hit by an object.
Broken Bone Symptoms
The following are the most common symptoms of a fracture.
- Usually associated with a snap or a grinding noise as the injury happens.
- There may be swelling, warmth, bruising, redness, or tenderness around the injured area.
- In addition, you may feel faint, dizzy or sick as a result of the shock of breaking a bone.
- You may feel pain when you put weight on the injury, touch it, press it, or move it.

If the break is small or it’s just a crack, you may not feel much pain or even realize you have broken a bone. You should seek medical help as soon as possible if you suspect a broken bone. If you think you may have broken your toe or finger, you can go to a minor injury unit or urgent care center.
