When a strain, fracture, or sport injury occurs, when and where you start your care matters. Our walk-in orthopedic urgent care connects you directly to board-certified specialists, so your treatment, follow-up, and rehabilitation are coordinated from the very first visit.
LBJI Urgent Care accepts walk-in appointments, so you do not need to book an appointment to receive direct-to-specialist care.
LBJI Urgent Care is designed for bone, joint, and muscle injuries that require prompt attention but are not life-threatening emergencies. Our specialists treat sprains and strains, fractures, dislocations, sports injuries, workplace injuries, sudden back pain, and acute joint pain affecting areas such as the knee, shoulder, wrist, ankle, or elbow.
Unlike a traditional urgent care or emergency room, you’ll be evaluated by orthopedic specialists who focus exclusively on musculoskeletal conditions. If follow-up treatment is needed, our team can seamlessly coordinate your care with one of LBJI’s orthopedic physicians at the most convenient location for you.
If you are bleeding, have sustained a head injury, an animal bite, a burn, or are feverish, please visit your emergency room or call 911.
If you’re looking for non-urgent care, please contact LBJI to schedule an appointment with a specialist.
