When Should You Visit an Urgent Care for X-Ray Services?
Urgent care centers with X-ray services play a critical role in diagnosing sudden injuries. X-rays can help identify problems such as fractures or other hidden issues, ensuring you receive the right treatment.
Whether you’ve experienced an unexpected fall, ongoing pain, or require regular screenings, X-rays can be key to detecting underlying conditions. At ApproXie Urgent Care, we prioritize prompt and efficient care, ensuring you receive the highest quality services.
If you need an X-ray, ApproXie Urgent Care is here for you! Our skilled medical staff offers fast, friendly service, allowing you to avoid long ER wait times and costly fees associated with traditional healthcare providers.
Here are a few situations where an X-ray can be a crucial step towards recovery:
- Accidents or Falls: After an accident or fall, especially one involving trauma, an X-ray is essential to detect any unseen damage to bones or tissues, even if fractures are not immediately visible.
- Unexplained or Persistent Pain: If persistent pain has no clear cause or doesn’t improve after a few days, an X-ray can help identify the problem, enabling more effective treatment.
- Osteoporosis or Skeletal Risks: Regular X-ray screenings are recommended for those diagnosed with osteoporosis or at higher risk of skeletal issues. These screenings allow healthcare providers to monitor changes and catch potential problems early.
- Confirming Unclear Findings: If other imaging tests, like ultrasounds or CT scans, show unusual or inconclusive results, an X-ray can provide a clearer view, helping doctors make more informed decisions about your care.
- Previously Unidentified Issues: If a previous medical issue was not properly diagnosed, an X-ray can offer valuable insight, helping ensure you receive the correct treatment promptly.
In these situations, discussing your options with your healthcare provider and considering an X-ray can be a critical step in understanding your condition and getting the care you need. Early diagnosis and timely treatment are vital for your overall well-being.
FAQ's
Strep Throat
Strep throat typically causes a sudden fever, painful swallowing, red and swollen tonsils, white patches on the tonsils, swollen lymph nodes, and small red spots on the roof of the mouth. You may also experience headaches or stomach pain.
Strep throat is diagnosed through a rapid strep test or a throat culture. A swab is taken from the back of the throat and tested for the presence of Group A Streptococcus bacteria.
Strep throat is treated with antibiotics to clear the bacterial infection. Completing the full course of prescribed medication is essential to prevent recurrence. Preventive steps include regular hand washing, covering your mouth when coughing or sneezing, and avoiding close contact with infected individuals.

Hannah M. // ApproXie Urgent Care - Town Madison/Huntsville
The nurse practitioner and her assistant in training are amazing here! They both had perfect bedside manner and made me feel comfortable in a stressful situation. I needed a breast exam in a rush since I was leaving the country for four months. They made me feel like everything was going to be okay and ordered me an ultrasound immediately! Every OBGYN in town turned me down and one even told me it would be impossible to get any kind of testing done within a week, but they got the job done! I highly recommend visiting this urgent care! They are very kind, empathetic, and great at their jobs!
Jennifer K. // ApproXie Urgent Care - Hays Farm
I’ve been several times. The clinic is absolutely beautiful and so clean. I have been seen and discharged in under 45 minutes each time, even when waiting on test results. I love that they are professional and friendly. And Dr. Allman is the BEST!
April Jossey // ApproXie Urgent Care - Madison
Every single time I visit ApproXie, I’m surprised by the efficiency. I don’t know how they do it, but they manage to spend as much time with me as I need while also keeping the wait short. I’ve never had a bad experience here and I refuse to go to any other urgent care as long as this one is open. I recommend ApproXie to everyone!
Shannon R. // ApproXie Urgent Care - Hays Farm
I visited ApproXie after being sick for several days and not feeling better. I love this place – the doctor that cared for me was wonderful and one of the most attentive and thorough practitioners I have ever seen. I was diagnosed with pneumonia and I think if not for her care I would have ended up in hospital. The nurses are wonderful too and again just so professional, knowledgable, and attentive. Check in is easy and the front desk person was super friendly and made that process easy too. I was in and out in under an hour and that was after having a chest X-Ray and breathing treatment. Best urgent care ever!
