Whether it’s a cut from cooking, a fall during outdoor activities, or a minor workplace accident*, injuries happen when you least expect them. For non-life-threatening wounds, urgent care clinics provide fast and effective treatment without the long wait at the emergency room.
*Workplace injuries may be treated with proper authorization, such as an approved Workers’ Compensation Claim Form (DWC 1).

Common injuries treated at an urgent care clinic include lacerations, abrasions, minor burns, puncture wounds, and bruises or contusions. Medical providers will clean the wound, assess the risk of infection, and determine if you need stitches, wound glue, or bandaging. For deeper cuts or those that are bleeding heavily, urgent care staff are trained to provide immediate care and pain management

San Antonio Regional Hospital’s urgent care clinics are also a convenient place for tetanus shots if your wound is caused by a dirty or rusty object and you’re due for a booster. If there’s concern about nerve, tendon, or bone involvement, you may be referred for imaging or follow-up care.

Prompt treatment of wounds can help prevent infection, minimize scarring, and support proper healing. With walk-in availability and expert care, our four urgent care clinics make it easy to treat injuries with confidence.
