When should I go to OrthoNOW instead of the emergency room (ER)?

The emergency room is equipped to handle a wide range of medical emergencies, including traumatic injuries and life-threatening conditions. However, for orthopedic injuries and pain that are not life-threatening, it may be more appropriate, easier, and less expensive to seek treatment from an immediate care specialist in orthopedic medicine. If you’re not sure if OrthoNOW is an appropriate care center, please call us and speak with a team member: 305-537-7272.

There are a few reasons why the emergency room may not be the best choice for orthopedic injuries or pain.

First, emergency rooms are busy, chaotic experiences where staff may have to prioritize patients with more urgent or life-threatening conditions. This can result in longer wait times and less attention paid to patients with non-life-threatening injuries or pain (e.g., a sprain, back pain).

Second, emergency room care can be very expensive ($$$$), and you may be better off seeking care from a specialist who can provide more targeted and cost-effective treatment.

What is PRP therapy and who is it for?

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy is a quick, non-surgical treatment that uses your body’s own healing cells to reduce pain and speed up recovery.

PRP is often used for arthritis, tendonitis, ligament or muscle injuries, and joint pain. It’s a great option if you’re looking to avoid or delay surgery, reduce reliance on medications, or if other treatments haven’t worked.

We draw a small sample of your blood, concentrate the platelets, and inject them into the injured area. The procedure is relatively painless, takes less than an hour, and promotes natural healing at the source of the problem.

Want to know if PRP is right for you? Just give us a call — we’re happy to help (30-5-537-7272).

Yes, we accept all major credit cards.

Arthritis & Osteoarthritis FAQs

Are people with arthritis more likely to develop complications from the flu?

People with some forms of inflammatory arthritis, like rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, have weakened immune systems, which can make them more likely to develop complications from the flu. Some medications used to treat inflammatory arthritis can also weaken the immune system.

Most people who get the flu do not need medical treatment and recover in less than two weeks. However people with weakened immune systems are more susceptible to flu-related complications, such as sinus infections, ear infections, bronchitis, or pneumonia.
