FAQ
What is an example of a dislocation?
An example of dislocation is when the bone of your arm slips or pops out of the joint on your shoulder. Dislocation often happens on the knees, hips, ankles, and shoulders.
How do you treat a dislocation?
To treat a dislocation, the area needs to undergo RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation). If it needs more attention, it may need repositioning, a splint or cast, medication, or surgery.
Is a dislocation a fracture?
A dislocation is different from a fracture. Dislocations are joints and bones separating or moving out of their normal positions. Fractures, on the other hand, are bones breaking.
How do you know if a bone is out of place?
You’ll know if a bone is out of place when the joint looks deformed, when the area is numb or tingling, swollen, discolored, difficult to move, and very painful.
What happens if a dislocation goes untreated?
If a dislocation goes untreated, it can damage the surrounding structures, causing restricted movement and intense pain, making it difficult or impossible to perform simple tasks.
What is the difference between emergency and pediatric urgent care?
The difference between emergency and pediatric urgent care is that emergency rooms in hospitals treat life-threatening conditions and injuries, whereas pediatric urgent care clinics treat illnesses and injuries that require immediate medical attention but are non-life-threatening.
Are your pediatric urgent care centers open after hours?
Yes. Most of our pediatric urgent care centers are open after hours, making health care more accessible for all residents in NYC.
Should I make an appointment for pediatric urgent care?
Not necessarily. Most ( pediatric) urgent cares accept walk-in patients. But if you want shorter wait times, you can book an appointment through phone or online.
Can I go to pediatric urgent care for non-emergency?
Yes. You can go to pediatric urgent care for consultations, physicals, primary care, lab tests, and more. We aim to help you and your little at every step of their health care journey.
Can I pay for pediatric urgent care appointment without insurance?
If you have no insurance, we provide our services without insurance for self-pay patients, giving you the care when you need it most.
