Ortho Express Care

A sprain, strain or sudden injury can turn your day upside down. Ortho Express Care helps you turn it around and get care when you need it.

Getting relief right away is the main thing on your mind when you’re injured. But where should you go? If you have a minor injury that doesn’t seem worthy of a trip to the Emergency Department (also called the ER), Ortho Express Care could be a great option.

At select Cleveland Clinic locations in Ohio and Florida, we offer same-day or next-day appointments with our orthopaedic specialists for certain sudden injuries. Whether it’s a sprain, strain or simple fracture, we care for anyone aged 2 and over. We’ll find out what’s going on, treat your pain and guide your recovery.
