Overview

Splinting is used to immobilise fractures, severe sprains, and joint injuries while swelling reduces and the injury stabilises. At Reddy Urgent Care, we apply splints for appropriate injuries the same day, following on-site X-ray confirmation where needed.

Symptoms We Treat

  • Confirmed or suspected fracture requiring immobilisation
  • Severe sprain with joint instability
  • Post-injury swelling requiring support
  • Wrist, ankle, or finger injury requiring protection
  • Pain and limited movement following injury

When to Go to the Emergency Room Instead

Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 if you or someone with you has:

  • Open fracture (bone through skin)

  • Suspected spine, hip, or pelvic fracture

If you are unsure, go to the ER. It is always better to be safe.
