Patients should speak to a physician at Premier Urgent Care to find out if joint and soft tissue injections could ease their symptoms.
     

    Patients can minimize their pain through various pain management techniques, including cold and heat therapy, gentle exercise, physical therapy, massage, acupuncture, cognitive behavior therapy, yoga, deep breathing exercises, progressive muscle relaxation, biofeedback, music therapy, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medication. Depending on the location and type of pain, each patient will receive a customized pain management plan.

  • Severe injuries, such as broken bones, paralysis, and internal bleeding, may require advanced treatment that may include surgery. Premier Urgent Care supports patients needing a range of treatments. Staff is available to answer any questions about obtaining advanced treatment.
