A broken bone often causes pain, swelling, bruising and trouble moving the injured part. It can be hard to tell a fracture from a bad sprain without an X-ray. Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, evaluates suspected fractures in Westmont, IL, seven days a week.
Important: on-site X-ray is available only at our main clinic, 29 N Cass Ave, Ste A. If you think you have a broken bone, go to that location rather than our clinic inside Jewel-Osco. Walk in or check in online first.
We evaluate suspected broken fingers, toes, wrists and ankles, and sprains that may need an X-ray.
MedlinePlus lists these signs of a broken bone:
The NHS notes that a broken, dislocated or badly sprained wrist can look alike, and you will probably need an X-ray to know.
Keep the injured part still. Support it with a sling or padding. Apply ice wrapped in a cloth to reduce swelling, and raise the limb if you can do it without pain.
A provider asks how the injury happened and examines the area, checking swelling, tenderness, blood flow and feeling. If a fracture is possible, we take X-rays at our Cass Ave clinic.
We explain what the images show. Depending on the injury, we may place a splint, wrap or sling and give pain-control and home-care advice. Some fractures need a specialist. When that is the case, we explain why and help you plan an orthopedic follow-up.
MedlinePlus says to call 911 if:
Do not move a person with a possible neck or back injury. Call 911 and wait for help.
