Orthopedics

Expert care for fractures, sprains and other orthopedic injuries.

Orthopedic injuries, such as fractures, sprains, strains and bruises, can happen suddenly from falls, sports activities, work-related injuries or everyday accidents. At Virginia Mason Franciscan Health Emergency & Urgent Care, we provide timely evaluation and treatment for musculoskeletal injuries affecting bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and surrounding soft tissue.

Because injuries can range from minor to serious, it is not always clear where to seek care. Our combined model brings urgent care and emergency services together in one location, so you do not have to decide. Our experienced clinical team evaluates your injury and guides you to the appropriate level of orthopedic care.

Whether you are experiencing pain, swelling, limited movement or a possible fracture, our team is here to help you get answers and begin treatment as quickly as possible.
