Centennial Beach, the Riverwalk and summer slips
Read moreClose
Summer in Naperville, IL means Centennial Beach and walks along the Riverwalk. Wet concrete, steps and pool decks are classic places to slip. According to MedlinePlus, broken bones commonly follow falls and sports injuries, and a fracture usually brings pain, swelling or bruising and trouble moving the area.
Not every slip needs a picture. A bruise that eases and a joint that works normally can usually be watched at home. Pain right over the bone, or an arm or leg you cannot use, is a reason to come in. Older family members deserve extra caution: the CDC says more than one in four adults 65 and older falls each year.

Is there a Naperville, IL location of Urgent Care Center of Westmont?
No. Both of our clinics are in Westmont, IL, about 9 miles east of Naperville in a straight line, and only the main clinic at 29 N Cass Ave, Ste A, has X-ray. There may be closer clinics to your home. We are one nearby option with seven-day hours.
A big dog knocked me down at the Greene Valley dog area. Do I need an X-ray?
Maybe. If a knee, wrist or hip hurts right over the bone, swells quickly or will not bear weight, an exam and possibly an X-ray are a good idea. If the pain is mild and easing, rest and ice first. A bite that breaks the skin should also be checked.
Can I get an X-ray and lab work in the same trip from Naperville, IL?
Yes. The main clinic at 29 N Cass Ave has both on-site X-ray and lab testing, so if your clinician decides you need an X-ray and blood work, both can be done at the same address. That can save Naperville, IL patients a second drive.
How do I keep a hurt arm still on the drive from Naperville, IL?
Take off rings and bracelets on that hand before it swells. Rest the arm on a pillow or folded towel, or support it in a sling made from a large scarf. Hold a cold pack wrapped in cloth on the sore spot for short stretches. If possible, have someone else drive so you can keep the arm still.
Does an X-ray replace an MRI for a knee injury?
No. An X-ray shows bone well, so it is used to look for a break. It shows little detail of ligaments, tendons and cartilage, which an MRI shows better. If your clinician suspects a ligament tear, they may recommend follow-up imaging elsewhere or a specialist referral.
