Overview

When an injury happens, you shouldn’t have to wait to see a specialist. At Endeavor Health, our orthopaedic and spine immediate care centers offer walk-in access to board-certified experts who specialize in diagnosing and treating bone, joint and spine injuries.

Whether you twisted your ankle, tweaked your knee or woke up with sudden back pain, we provide timely, expert care — without the ER wait. For follow-up or chronic issues, make an appointment with an orthopaedic specialist.

When to go to immediate care vs. the emergency department

Visit one of our immediate care locations for:

  • Sprains or strains
  • Joint pain or swelling
  • Back or neck pain
  • Minor dislocations
  • Suspected fractures without visible bone
  • Sports-related injuries and concussions that don’t require emergency attention

Walk-ins are welcome and parking is free, and you’ll be seen by specialists with expertise in bone, joint and spine injuries.

Have a sports injury or joint pain that’s not getting better? Our orthopaedic specialists also have offices at our locations and are available to see you for an ongoing injury or joint pain. Same day and next-day appointments are available. Schedule an appointment today through NorthShore Connect or by calling (847) 866-7846.

Head to the ER or call 911 if you experience:

  • A bone breaking through the skin
  • A severe deformity or inability to move a limb
  • Significant bleeding or trauma
  • Numbness with significant loss of function
  • A head injury with loss of consciousness, repeated vomiting, seizure, or weakness/numbness in limbs
  • Chest pain or trouble breathing

The emergency department is best for life-threatening or complex injuries that need immediate, advanced care.
