Minor aches and pains can be common — from moderate bumps or bruises to post-workout soreness or muscle strain, sometimes these kinds of pain can be treated easily at home with proper care. However, if you begin to feel persistent pain somewhere in your body without any obvious explanation, in some cases, it could be a sign of an underlying problem or illness.
If you or a loved one have been experiencing pain, especially if the pain has appeared suddenly and seemingly without reason, it’s important to see your healthcare provider as soon as possible. Seeking medical attention will help to identify the root cause of the issue and get you on the right path to receive the care you need.
That’s where we have you covered at our two Hudson Physicians Urgent Care clinics in New Richmond & Hudson.
Visiting our Urgent Care clinic can help bridge the gap when you need to be seen right away, but you’re unable to wait for an appointment with your regular provider.
With convenient walk-in availability our Urgent Care providers can treat non-life-threatening symptoms of minor illnesses and injuries, such as:
- Fever
- Abdominal pain
- Mild flu-like symptoms
- Covid-19 symptoms and testing
- Upset stomach, vomiting, or diarrhea
- Shortness of breath
- Sprains, strains, and sports injuries
- Small wounds requiring stitches
- Dislocated joints
- Broken bones
When you’re in pain, it’s not easy or practical to wait for a visit with your regular healthcare provider. But if your symptoms aren’t severe enough for an Emergency Room visit, an Urgent Care is your best choice.
We are here for you for more than just your Urgent Care needs.
Did you know that we can also care for your feet and lower legs? If you ever feel exhausted in the morning because your feet or lower legs kept you awake, you might want to consider a Podiatrist.
Podiatry
The purpose of podiatry is to prevent, diagnose, and treat conditions that present themselves or relate to the feet and lower legs. There are several illnesses that can show their first warning signs through symptoms experienced in the lower extremities, such as:
- Undiagnosed diabetes
- Thyroid issues
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Anemia
- Autoimmune disorders
- Liver and kidney malfunction
- Lung disease
- Heart failure
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms or conditions, consider seeing a podiatrist as soon as possible — a proper exam can help prevent certain issues from becoming a more serious problem, as well as identify and treat existing conditions to make sure you’re getting the proper care you need.
- Pain in the heels, balls, or arches of your feet, or in the lower legs
- Dry, cracked, or flaking skin
- Cuts on your feet
- Discolored toenails
- Bunions
- Foot deformities
- Redness or swelling
- Pins-and-needles sensation in the feet
