What Treatment May Include
Depending on your injury and our medical team’s findings, we may provide any of the following.
Wound Cleaning and Closure
It’s important to have cuts and lacerations evaluated as soon as possible, ideally within several hours, to minimize the risk of infection and promote healing. Our clinicians will evaluate the depth of the wound, remove debris, and determine whether closure is necessary.
Burn Severity Assessment and Topical Treatment
We assess burn depth, size, and location to determine appropriate care. For minor burns, we apply medicated ointments and protective dressings to reduce inflammation and lower the risk of infection.
Bracing Or Splinting for Strains, Sprains, And Minor Fractures
For musculoskeletal injuries, we’ll assess range of motion, swelling, strength, and alignment. We provide immobilization for stable fractures and instructions for follow-up care, which may include advanced imaging or specialist evaluation.
Eye Examinations and Treatment for Corneal Abrasions
We evaluate eye injuries and may use staining to identify corneal scratches. Treatment may include antibiotic drops, ointment, and guidance on monitoring for vision changes or worsening pain.
When appropriate, we prescribe medications after reviewing your medical history and current medications.
On-Site Diagnostics
Whether you need an X-ray to confirm a bone fracture, stitches to help a laceration heal properly, or treatment for any other minor injuries, you can find the treatment and care you need with Halifax Health ExpressCare. We have an on-site laboratory, X-ray technology, and related equipment to provide you with diagnostic services and treatment.
On-site imaging enables our providers to evaluate fractures, joint injuries, and certain causes of back pain during the same visit. Laboratory testing detects infections, abscesses, and other acute concerns, reducing delays and allowing treatment to begin right away.
