A fracture usually happens when your bone is exposed to more force than it’s designed to handle. It can fracture lengthwise, crosswise or in multiple places. You may hear a snapping sound when it happens, notice redness, swelling and bruising, and may even have a physical deformity at the fracture site. Below are four different types of fractures:
GoHealth Urgent Care is equipped to determine whether you have a sprain, strain or fracture and what type it is, so it can be treated properly. Appropriate fracture treatment depends on type and location. The goal is to stabilize broken pieces so they can heal properly. Sometimes, a cast is used to help make sure things stay in place.

Bruises, or contusions, are incredibly common. They happen when blood collects under the surface as a result of damaged vessels. Types of bruises include:
While minor burns can sometimes be treated at home, some burns may need wound dressings and therapy following first aid treatment. Severe burns may require an ER visit and might require being transferred to a burn center for the best care.
Concussions can happen to anyone and they typically require an urgent care visit to ensure a higher level of care isn’t necessary. A concussion is a brain injury that happens as a result of violent shaking or a blow to the head, such as in a fall or collision. After a full examination, physical and mental rest are often part of treatment.
We often see mild eye injuries like a scratched cornea, a foreign particle in your eye, a subconjunctival hemorrhage (bleeding eyes), or swelling. Severe eye injuries may require a visit to the optometrist for more specialized care.
Believe it or not, there are 206 bones in the human body. While technically you can fracture any bone in your body, some bones are much more likely to break than others (and yes, and break mean the same thing!)
Whether you stayed too long at the beach or got a little careless at the BBQ, burns can be a painful part of anyone’s summer. Some burns you can take care of at home with some common sense and first aid; other burns can be quite serious and require medical attention.
Unattended cooking is the #1 cause of kitchen fires, but that’s not the only thing that can go wrong in the kitchen. Considering how easy it is to get distracted while preparing food, especially in the hustle and bustle of the holidays, it’s important to practice kitchen safety.
