Why Choose Full Orthopedics Urgent Care During the Holidays?

Many urgent cares in South Florida are operating with reduced hours or are fully closed for long stretches throughout late November, December, and early January. Full Orthopedics Urgent Care continues to serve the community with:

Specialized Orthopedic Expertise

Unlike general urgent cares, we focus exclusively on orthopedic and musculoskeletal injuries. This means you get:

• On-site X-rays

• Immediate fracture care

• Splinting and casting

• Treatment for sprains, strains, dislocations, tendon injuries, and joint pain

• Same-day evaluations with orthopedic providers

Our team ensures you receive accurate diagnoses and effective treatment so you can return to your holiday activities as safely and quickly as possible.

Fast, Walk-In Care

Holiday schedules are stressful enough. That’s why we offer convenient walk-in access with minimal wait times—much faster than a hospital emergency room or traditional orthopedic office.

Avoiding the ER Unless Necessary

For many orthopedic injuries, the emergency room is not required and can lead to long wait times and high costs. At Full Orthopedics Urgent Care, you receive targeted orthopedic care on the spot.

Common Holiday Injuries We Treat

The holidays bring an increase in certain types of injuries due to higher activity levels, travel, weather changes, and household tasks. At Full Orthopedics Urgent Care, we regularly treat the following:

1. Sprains and Strains

Backyard football games, running around with kids, climbing ladders, and lifting heavy holiday items can easily lead to soft-tissue injuries. Ankle and knee sprains are especially common.

Signs you need urgent care: sudden swelling, popping sensation, inability to bear weight, or severe pain.

2. Fractures

Slips, falls, and kitchen accidents often result in wrist, forearm, or collarbone fractures. Even simple tasks, like carrying décor or slipping on a wet tile floor, can result in broken bones.

We offer: on-site X-rays, splints, casts, and orthopedic follow-up.

3. Back and Neck Injuries

Activities like moving boxes, decorating high places, or long hours of travel can trigger back pain, pinched nerves, muscle spasms, or herniation flare-ups.

We can help: acute back pain, neck pain, and injuries from lifting or sudden movement.

4. Shoulder Injuries

Shoulder strains, rotator cuff injuries, and dislocations happen more often during the holidays due to lifting, overhead reaching, and sports.

5. Hand, Wrist, and Elbow Injuries

Cooking, handling tools, assembling gifts, or falls often cause wrist sprains, finger injuries, or elbow trauma. These are among the most common injuries we see between Thanksgiving and New Year’s.

6. Sports Injuries

Holiday travel and gatherings often include recreational sports—basketball, pickleball, tennis, soccer, or beach activities. These can lead to ligament injuries, tendonitis, or acute joint trauma.

7. Work-Related or On-the-Job Injuries

Seasonal workers, decorators, hospitality employees, and retail staff often sustain orthopedic injuries during the year’s busiest stretch.

We treat: workplace sprains, strains, repetitive-use injuries, and acute trauma.

8. Firework-Related Injuries

Fireworks are especially common during New Year’s celebrations in South Florida, and they frequently lead to hand, wrist, and arm injuries. Even small fireworks can misfire, explode unexpectedly, or cause someone to lose their balance and fall.

Full Orthopedics Urgent Care treats: Hand and finger injuries, Wrist fractures, Soft-tissue trauma, Impact or fall-related injuries caused by fireworks
