Questions from Southlake patients.
What's the difference between a sprain and a strain?
A sprain is a stretched or torn ligament (connects bone to bone), while a strain is a stretched or torn muscle or tendon (connects muscle to bone). Both can cause similar swelling and pain, which is why imaging helps confirm the diagnosis.
Can urgent care treat a dislocated joint?
Most urgent care clinics can't safely reduce a dislocated joint, which requires imaging, pain control and hands-on technique. A dislocation should be evaluated at the ER.
Do I need an X-ray for a sprain?
Often, yes — especially if there's significant swelling, inability to bear weight, or the mechanism of injury suggests a possible fracture. On-site X-ray gives us an answer the same visit.
How long does a sprain or strain take to heal?
Mild sprains and strains often improve in 1–3 weeks with rest, ice and support. More severe ligament or tendon tears can take 6–12 weeks or longer, sometimes requiring specialist care.
Should I go to the ER after a car accident even if I feel okay?
Yes, especially if you have any pain, stiffness or swelling. Some musculoskeletal injuries don't become obvious until hours after an accident, and documentation matters if you pursue a claim.
