Daily Dose – Atrium Health Opens New Orthopedic Urgent Care in Greater Charlotte

Great Charlotte families and athletes have a new resource for fast and specialized orthopedic and sports medicine care. The newly opened Atrium Health Orthopedic Urgent Care, located at 3030 Randolph Road, offers walk-in care for orthopedic and sports injuries 7 days a week. This new location makes it easier than ever to access injury care, with afternoon and weekend hours, allowing patients to quickly return to their favorite activities pain-free.

“In orthopedics, the key to a speedy recovery is early assessment, diagnosis and treatment,” said Daniel Jacobs, associate director of Advanced Practice, Atrium Health Musculoskeletal Institute. “By offering this orthopedic urgent care location, patients will have access to specialized care every day of the week, ensuring quick and convenient treatment by orthopedic experts. This minimizes delays in care and supports faster recovery times.”

Unlike a general emergency room visit, Atrium Health Orthopedic Emergency Care focuses exclusively on orthopedic conditions. This ensures that patients are treated by experts who specialize in orthopedic injuries, often leading to a more accurate diagnosis. By visiting this specialized urgent care, patients also avoid the long wait times often associated with traditional emergency departments, giving them the benefit of being able to see an orthopedic specialist quickly.

Student-athletes in particular benefit from this new Atrium Health Orthopedic Emergency Care. As the official health care provider for Charlotte Mecklenburg, Union County, Cabarrus County, Lincoln County and Fort Mill Schools, Atrium Health athletic trainers already provide top-notch ancillary medical care during practices and games. But with the added benefit of evening and weekend hours, this new practice offers athletes and families convenient care when they need it most.

“We can improve the care athletes receive regardless of when an injury occurs,” says Daniel. “Our athletic trainers seamlessly refer injured athletes for further evaluation and management at Atrium Health Orthopedic Urgent Care, ensuring continuity and quality of care.”
