Same-Day Orthopedic Care — Call, Don’t Sit in the ER

Orthopedic Doctors and PAs Available Today

Welcome to Carolina Regional Orthopedics Same Day Urgent Care in Rocky Mount, NC

A sprained ankle, a swollen knee, a jammed finger, or a back that went out overnight does not belong in an emergency-room waiting room. It also does not belong in a retail clinic that will X-ray you and send you somewhere else. Carolina Regional Orthopaedics offers same-day orthopedic urgent care at our Rocky Mount office so you can see an orthopedic physician or physician assistant the day you call.

This is bone, joint, and muscle care — not general urgent care. We see sprains, strains, suspected fractures, dislocations we can reduce in clinic, sports injuries, flare-ups of back or neck pain, and sudden hand, wrist, shoulder, hip, knee, ankle, or foot problems that are not life-threatening. On-site X-ray is available so the visit can move from exam to a plan in one stop. If the injury needs a surgeon or a pain-management procedure, you are already in the practice that provides both.

No need to wait days or weeks! Get seen by an Orthopedic Physician Assistant or Doctor when you need it most.

Quick Care

When you need to see an orthopedic specialist for immediate care, we are here to provide you with the treatment you need for non-life-threatening conditions.

Same-Day Appointment

If you’re looking for help today, our doors are open for same-day patients, ensuring you can get care within the day using our appointment system so you can avoid a long stay in the emergency or immediate care clinic waiting room.

On-Site Diagnostics

Our facility is equipped with lab services, like X-rays, Labs, and EMGs, available on-site, allowing us to diagnose and treat you efficiently.

When to Choose Urgent Care Over the ER

Orthopedic urgent care is the right choice for injuries that need prompt attention but are not emergencies — a possible fracture, a bad sprain, a joint you cannot use normally, or pain and swelling after a fall or a game. You get specialized care, often with shorter waits and easier follow-up than a hospital emergency department.

Life-threatening emergencies should always be treated by calling 911 or going to the nearest emergency room. This includes severe bleeding, an obviously deformed limb with loss of circulation, head or spine injuries, or any situation that feels like a true emergency. When in doubt about a serious injury, choose emergency services.
