Whether you or someone else has sustained an injury that my have resulted in a fracture, there are a few rules you can follow to help ensure you don’t cause further damage while awaiting medical care from a certified doctor.  The first and most important thing to remember is to not make any attempt to push the bone back into place.  Instead, immobilize the injured area until help arrives or you are able to see a doctor.  You will also want to stop any bleeding that may occur and treat for shock if necessary.  If the injured person is short of breath or feeling faint, try lying them down and elevating their legs if possible, to help restore a natural breathing rhythm.  Finally, see a doctor as soon as possible.  At Niagara Falls Urgent Care, we offer extended walk-in hours every day of the week, so you can receive the care you need when you need it most. If you or a loved one has sustained an injury and you suspect a bone fracture has occurred, call or walk-in to Niagara Falls Urgent Care for fast and effective diagnosis and treatment.
