Our trained emergency care providers can help assess for signs of infection, clean the wound and extract any damaged tissue and if necessary, stitch the wound and prescribe an antibiotic in case of infection.

• Dislocation – The displacement of two or more bones necessitates immediate medical attention, not only because of the intense pain experienced but also for the potential risk of permanent nerve as well as tendon damage.
