Charlotte, N.C. Aug. 19, 2016 – For the fifth year in a row, Novant Health will treat high school sports injuries after-hours at its sports injury clinics now through Nov. 12. The clinics will take place at Novant Health Urgent Care and Occupational Medicine in Matthews on Fridays from 10 to 11 p.m. and at Novant Health Lakeside Family Physicians and Urgent Care (19485 Old Jetton Road, Suite 100, Cornelius, North Carolina) on Saturdays from 9 to 10 a.m.
Novant Health’s sports injury clinics provide after-hours care for unexpected high school sports injuries so that student athletes can quickly and safely return to the field. Walk-in patients are welcome, and most insurance plans are accepted.
When unexpected sports injuries such as concussions, sprains, strains, cuts and broken bones occur, Novant Health’s Black and Blue Clinic is a cost-efficient, time-saving alternative to the emergency room. It will be staffed by board-certified primary care sports medicine physicians and clinical staff. If necessary, X-ray services will also be available on-site.
“We are excited to continue to provide care in our community for high school athletes at our sports injury clinics again this fall,” said Eric Warren, MD, medical director of sports medicine. “Our staff is prepared to diagnose and treat common sports related injuries, including ankle sprains, broken bones and concussions. For high school student athletes, the clinic is one of the fastest and safest possible options for them to return to their chosen sport in a timely manner.”
Novant Health sports medicine has experts in a broad range of specialties, including primary care sports medicine, orthopedic sports medicine, physical therapy, pediatric cardiology and certified athletic training.
