Not sure if you’re dealing with a sprain or a fracture? Here are some clues…

Sprains often come with swelling and bruising but allow some movement.

Fractures usually cause sharper pain, difficulty walking or using the limb, and sometimes visible deformity.

When in doubt, get it checked. Our team can assess your injury and provide on-site imaging to get you answers fast.

Recovery myths we hear all the time:

• “I should feel 100% right away.”
• “Swelling means something’s wrong.”
• “Rest is all I need.”
• “PT is optional.”

The truth? Healing is a process… and it rarely happens overnight.

Swelling is a normal part of recovery, movement helps your body heal, and physical therapy plays a major role in regaining strength, mobility, and long-term comfort.

We’re here to support you every step of the way.
