Why Might I Need an X-Ray?
Fast, easy, and informative, X-ray imaging is the go-to diagnostic tool in several common urgent care situations. Here’s why we might recommend painless digital X-rays as part of your medical evaluation.
When you need immediate care for a pressing medical concern, you usually can’t wait a few hours — let alone a few days — for a standard appointment with your primary care provider. Whether you’re experiencing worrisome symptoms of an acute illness, or you’ve sustained a painful, non-life-threatening injury, the sooner you get expert care, the better.
As urgent care specialists who evaluate and treat walk-in patients with concerning symptoms, acute illnesses, and serious injuries every day of the week, our experienced team at American River Urgent Care knows just how important it is to have high-quality, accessible medical care when you need it, no appointment necessary.
At our walk-in clinic in Orangevale, California, we provide prompt medical care for a full scope of pressing, non-emergency health issues. Let’s take a closer look at the kinds of symptoms and conditions that might bring you to our office for an unplanned visit.
When you find yourself dealing with a pressing medical problem that isn’t grave enough to be considered a life- or limb-threatening emergency — but is serious enough to warrant prompt professional evaluation and treatment — it’s time to head to our walk-in clinic.
Urgent medical issues don’t typically get better on their own, and in most cases, they require quick expert care. Without timely treatment, serious acute health problems tend to worsen. In some cases, they can even lead to complications that affect your overall well-being.
With our on-site diagnostic lab, digital X-ray services, and seasoned team of board-certified medical providers, our walk-in clinic is fully equipped to handle your pressing urgent care needs seven days a week. This includes:
