Digital X-Rays for Bone Fractures & Pneumonia
X-rays are one of the most common diagnostic tools used to evaluate injuries and illnesses. They allow providers to quickly assess bone fractures, joint injuries, and lung conditions such as pneumonia. At our urgent care, we provide same-day X-ray referral and evaluation with no appointment needed for both adults and children.
X-Rays for Bone Fractures
Bone injuries can occur from falls, sports, or accidents. Symptoms that may indicate a fracture include:
• Pain and swelling
• Bruising or tenderness
• Deformity or limited movement
• Difficulty bearing weight
• Reduced range of motion
If a fracture is suspected, an X-ray helps confirm the injury and guide treatment such as splinting or orthopedic referral.
X-Rays for Pneumonia & Lung Conditions
Chest X-rays are commonly used to evaluate lung infections such as pneumonia, especially when symptoms include:
• Fever or chills
• Persistent cough
• Chest discomfort
• Shortness of breath
• Fatigue or weakness
Chest X-rays can help differentiate viral vs. bacterial causes and determine if additional treatment is needed.
