Treating Illnesses

When illness strikes, you need care that's both fast and effective. At Northwest Urgent Care, we are equipped to handle various common illnesses, including colds, flu and infections. Our experienced medical staff will assess your symptoms, provide a thorough evaluation and create a personalized treatment plan to help you feel better quickly.

Allergies

More than 50 million people have allergy attacks annually. Allergic reactions can cause symptoms like sneezing, itching and hives. We can help identify triggers and provide effective management strategies to minimize discomfort and swelling.

Common Cold

Around 1 billion people suffer from the common cold annually, and children can catch a cold as many as 10 times per year. Caused by various viruses, the common cold presents with a runny nose, sore throat and sneezing. While usually mild, it can lead to more serious complications, especially in young children and older adults.

Ear Infections

Ear infections are common in both children and adults and can lead to ear pain, fever and even hearing loss. This is the most common reason for children to visit a provider, accounting for 30 million visits annually. Prompt evaluation and treatment can alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.

Flu

Between October and April, as many as 75 million Americans get the flu. The flu is a contagious respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses and can lead to symptoms like fever, chills, cough and body aches. Early diagnosis and treatment can help reduce the severity and duration of symptoms and can be especially important for the elderly, young children or those with compromised immune systems.

Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)

This inflammation of the eye's outer membrane can cause redness, itching and discharge. Often caused by allergens as well as bacterial or viral infections, this condition affects around 6 million Americans per year. Our team can determine the cause and recommend ways to alleviate symptoms.

Sinus Infection (Sinusitis)

Nearly 29 million American adults battle chronic sinus infections. Sinusitis occurs when the sinuses become inflamed, leading to headaches, facial pain and nasal congestion. Our healthcare professionals can offer treatments to relieve discomfort and promote recovery.

Stomach Virus (Gastroenteritis)

Norovirus is the leading cause of foodborne illness in the United States. It affects up to 21 million people each year and is responsible for 58% of foodborne diseases.This viral infection leads to symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea and stomach cramps. Young children, older adults, and those who have underlying health conditions or have experienced these symptoms for two days or more should visit urgent care as they may be at risk for dehydration.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common infections, especially among women, that affect the urinary system. UTI symptoms often include a frequent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. This condition may be painful, disrupt daily routines and, if left untreated, can lead to more serious health issues. However, we offer quick and effective treatment to help relieve symptoms and prevent complications related to the kidneys, bladder and urethra.


Treating Injuries

Accidents can happen at any time, and when they do, we're here to help. Northwest Urgent Care specializes in the treatment of minor injuries, from cuts and sprains to fractures and more. Our team is trained to provide immediate care so you can receive the treatment needed to promote healing and recovery. Your health and safety are our top priorities.

Broken Bones

Over 18 million Americans break a bone each year. Fractures occur when a bone is subjected to excessive force, such as sports injuries, falls or car accidents. Symptoms can include pain, swelling, limited mobility or being unable to bear weight on the affected bone or joint. Timely evaluation is crucial for proper healing.

Minor Burns

The American Burn Association estimates 500,000 people receive treatments for minor burn injuries each year. Most of these injuries happen at home and are often caused by heat, chemicals, electricity or hot water. Treatment varies based on the severity, but timely care of a minor burn can minimize complications and promote healing.

Concussions

A concussion is a type of traumatic brain injury caused by a blow to the head. Concussions are especially common among young athletes between the ages of 5 and 18. Symptoms may include headache, confusion and dizziness. Immediate care can help prevent long-term symptoms and shorten recovery time.

Cuts and Lacerations

Cuts can range from minor to severe, often requiring stitches. It's also common, especially in the workplace, and accounts for as many as 40% of hand injuries according to the National Safety Council. We can help you by cleaning your wound and guiding you on how to prevent infection and promote healing.

Dislocations

A dislocation occurs when a bone is forced out of its joint. This injury is common in elbows, fingers, hips, jaws, knees and shoulders. Symptoms include severe pain and visible deformity. Immediate medical attention is necessary to reposition the joint safely.

Sports injuries are common in active people, but aren't limited to just those who play contact sports like basketball, football, soccer or hockey. Others are treated for injuries related to falls while cycling, skating, skateboarding and even jumping on trampolines. Common injuries include tendonitis, fractures, muscle tears and head or face injuries. However, our compassionate providers can help you get back in the game safely.
