Orthopedic and sports medicine physicians provide an advanced level of care, and all providers are skilled in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries to bones, joints, ligaments, fascia, tendons and muscles. What makes Ohio State Orthopedic Urgent Care unique is the potential opportunity to consult with an orthopedic specialist in your initial visit they can expedite care to non-operative and surgical interventions to help return to their sport or activity sooner.

  If urgent care is needed for sports- or activity-related injuries in the evenings or on weekends when Ohio State Orthopedic Urgent Care isn’t open, or you’re in closer proximity to any of our Advanced Urgent Care locations, we can provide the same high level of orthopedic urgent care and diagnostics, including X-rays.

  • Both have on-site, high-quality durable medical goods so you can leave with the medically assisted device you need, such as crutches, splints and boots.
  • Both can schedule follow-up appointments with an orthopedic or sports medicine specialist, and in some cases, physical therapy.
