Back Pain Treatment
If you are experiencing moderate to severe back pain which needs immediate attention, trust in our Jacksonville urgent care center to help. Patients with severe back pain are recommended to have a friend or family member drive them to our Dunn Avenue location for immediate help.
Headache Treatment
Severe headaches can impact home life, work life, and our quality of sleep. If you are experiencing a severe headache which isn't being relieved by over-the-counter medicine, you should consult a physician immediately. Our urgent care doctors are trained to help you get the relief you need.
Rash Treatment
Immediate treatment of a sudden or persistent rash is highly recommended in most cases. The longer rashes persist the more severe they can become and the more they can spread. If you are experiencing a painful or abnormal rash, visit the walk-in urgent care clinic on Dunn Avenue today.
Animal Attack Treatment
If you or a loved one have been attacked by a wild or domesticated animal, immediate medical attention is necessary in most cases. Our doctors are trained to handle bites, scratches, and other animal-related injuries. No appointment is necessary at our Jacksonville urgent care center.
Laceration Treatment
Compared to a small cut or scratch, a laceration is a deep cut or tear in the skin or flesh. Lacerations need to be treated by qualified physicians immediately as home care can often lead to an increased risk of infection or other complications. If you have a deep cut and need medical treatment, visit ERgent Care Center of Jacksonville now.
Sports Injury Treatment
Sports injuries are common for all ages from children's sports through adult intramural sports. We provide immediate care for all types of non-emergency sports-related injuries and can often treat the injury faster than a general practitioner or emergency room. If you've been injured while playing sports, visit our walk-in urgent care center in North Jacksonville.
Burn Treatment
Whether its from cooking or chemicals, a burn needs to be treated as soon as possible to avoid lasting damage. Burns of any type can cause severe pain and our walk-in clinic physicians are able to help. Our doctors will determine what degree of burn you have as well as the best way to treat it.
Concussion Treatment
Anyone who has taken a blow to the head knows the pain and confusion it can often cause. If you have sustained a head injury and suspect you may have a concussion, you should see a doctor immediately. ERgent Care Center of Jacksonville can often diagnose and treat concussions faster than the Emergency Room. Visit our walk-in urgent care clinic today.
Concussion Treatment
Anyone who has taken a blow to the head knows the pain and confusion it can often cause. If you have sustained a head injury and suspect you may have a concussion, you should see a doctor immediately. ERgent Care Center of Jacksonville can often diagnose and treat concussions faster than the Emergency Room. Visit our walk-in urgent care clinic today.
Chemical Exposure Treatment
If you have been exposed to potentially harmful chemicals, serious long-lasting issues can arrise. Whether it is a chemical burn on the skin or chemical exposure to the eyes, you should see a doctor immediately. No appointments are necessary at our walk-in clinic.
Insect Bite & Sting Treatment
From fire ants to black widow spiders, Florida is home to many venomous insects. Painful burning and itching is common with most insect bites or stings. More severe reactions can also occur including allergic reactions, swelling and infection. If you have been bitten or stung by an insect, seek medical help at our walk-in urgent care clinic immediately.
Bone Fracture Treatment
Unfortunately the unexpected does happen and injuries often occur during off hours or over the weekend. Although accident injuries immediately evoke thoughts of heading to the closest hospital, the fact is most broken bones and orthopedic injuries do not require a trip to the emergency room and can be treated in a well-staffed urgent care center. For non-open fractures, joint separations and severe strains, an ice pack can be applied in transit to help control swelling and pain.
Treatment for a broken bone will vary depending upon the severity of the fracture and the location of the break. In most cases, you will be required to wear a brace or splint while the bone heals. In some cases, orthopedic surgery may be necessary to insert plates or screws to properly support and align the bones during the healing process. Some types of fractures do not require a cast, splint or surgery. However, it is important to avoid stressful activities until your fracture has healed.
Sprains and Joint Injuries
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament where bones are connected in a joint. Common joint sprains include the wrist, ankle and knee. A strain occurs when a muscle or tendon that connects to a bone is stretched or torn. Common strains include the back, bicep and hamstring muscles.
Although sprains and strains are a common occurrence, tissue injuries can cause extreme pain, excessive swelling, bruising and muscle spasms. A conservative approach involves resting the joint, icing it, using a compression bandage and elevating the injured limb. ERgent Care Center can provide the medical imaging needed to accurately diagnose and treat your injury as well as prescribe the rehabilitative exercises or physical therapy needed for a full recovery.
Wound Care
Get advanced wound care when you need it. At ERgent Care Center Jacksonville, our board certified physicians, nurses and technicians can deliver wound management to restore skin integrity and prevent complications during extended hours and weekends. Proper wound care can dramatically impact your health and reduce recovery times for managing a variety of conditions.
Our physicians and medical support staff provide the latest wound management techniques to address acute and chronic wounds as well as the underlying medical conditions. Diabetic ulcerations, venous leg and pressure wounds, trauma wounds and non-healing wounds can dramatically impact your activities and threaten your overall health.

Been dealing with a sinus infection for a few days. Went in on Saturday morning at 10am and was seen and out within 30 minutes. Got a Rx and I seem to be on the mend. This day's experience was a very good and productive one.
