Whether you rolled your ankle during a weekend hike, injured your shoulder at the gym, or woke up with sudden back pain, getting the right care quickly can make all the difference. While many people automatically head to a general urgent care or the emergency room, there’s a better option for bone, joint, and muscle injuries.
At Raleigh Orthopaedic, our Orthopedic Urgent Care clinics provide fast, specialized care for orthopedic injuries—without the long wait times, high emergency room costs, or need for an appointment. With four convenient locations in Raleigh, Garner, Wakefield, and Holly Springs, expert orthopedic care is always close by.
Now Offering Extended Hours
Life doesn’t stop after 5 p.m.—and neither do injuries. That’s why our Raleigh, Garner, and Wakefield Orthopedic Urgent Care locations now offer expanded evening and weekend hours.
Extended Hours:
- Raleigh: Monday–Sunday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- Garner: Monday–Sunday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- Wakefield: Monday–Sunday, 8 a.m. – 8 p.m.
- Holly Springs: Monday–Friday, 8 a.m. – 4 p.m.
When an injury happens after work, during youth sports, or over the weekend, you don’t have to wait until Monday to be seen.
Why Choose an Orthopedic Urgent Care?
Not every injury requires a trip to the emergency room. And while general urgent care centers can treat many common illnesses, they aren’t designed to provide specialized orthopedic care.
At Raleigh Orthopaedic Urgent Care, you’re seen by providers who specialize in diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal injuries every day. That means you receive focused, expert care from the start, helping you get on the road to recovery faster.
Specialized Orthopedic Providers
Our experienced orthopedic providers evaluate injuries involving bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and sports injuries. Because our providers specialize in orthopedic care, they can accurately diagnose your injury and recommend the most effective treatment plan.
Skip the Long ER Wait—and the High Cost
Emergency rooms are essential for life-threatening injuries and medical emergencies, but many orthopedic injuries don’t require emergency care.
Choosing Orthopedic Urgent Care can help you:
- Avoid long emergency room wait times
- Save money with just your specialist copay in many cases
- Receive faster evaluation and treatment
- Get the orthopedic care you need without unnecessary delays
Walk In—No Appointment Needed
Accidents rarely happen on a schedule. That’s why our Orthopedic Urgent Care clinics welcome walk-in patients.
There’s no need to call ahead or wait days for an appointment. Simply visit one of our locations, and our team will evaluate your injury and begin treatment as soon as possible.
On-Site Imaging for Faster Answers
One of the biggest advantages of visiting Raleigh Orthopaedic Urgent Care is the convenience of on-site imaging.
If your provider suspects a fracture or other orthopedic injury, digital X-rays are available during your visit. This allows for a quicker diagnosis and treatment plan, helping you spend less time waiting and more time healing.
Seamless Follow-Up Care Under One Roof
If your injury requires additional treatment, you won’t have to start over somewhere else.
Because our urgent care is part of Raleigh Orthopaedic Clinic, your care continues seamlessly within the same practice. If needed, we can coordinate follow-up appointments with one of our physicians or connect you with one of our physical therapists to support your recovery.
Everything stays connected—from your initial injury evaluation through rehabilitation—making your experience more convenient and efficient.
What Conditions Do We Treat?
Our Orthopedic Urgent Care clinics evaluate and treat a wide variety of acute orthopedic injuries and conditions, including:
- Sprains and strains
- Broken bones and suspected fractures
- Sports injuries
- Joint pain and swelling
- Knee injuries
- Shoulder injuries
- Ankle and foot injuries

If you’re unsure whether your injury should be seen in urgent care, our team can help guide you.
When Should You Go to the Emergency Room Instead?
While Orthopedic Urgent Care is the right choice for most orthopedic injuries, you should go directly to the emergency room or call 911 if you experience:
- Open fractures where bone is protruding through the skin
- Severe trauma from a major accident
- Uncontrolled bleeding
- Loss of consciousness
- Suspected head injury with concerning symptoms
- Chest pain or difficulty breathing
- Any life-threatening emergency
