Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Z-2-H Family Med & Urgent Care

What are the common symptoms of a sprain?

Sprains typically cause swelling, bruising, pain with movement, limited motion, and tenderness around the affected joint. More severe sprains may cause instability or difficulty bearing weight.

How do I know if my sprain needs medical evaluation?

You should seek care if there is severe pain, significant swelling, inability to walk or move the joint, visible deformity, or symptoms that worsen over time. Early evaluation helps rule out fractures or ligament tears.

Can you evaluate sprains at home?

Yes. Our mobile medical team can assess injury severity, provide stabilization, and advise whether imaging or orthopedic follow-up is needed, all from your home.

Do sprains require imaging?

Some sprains do. X-rays may be recommended if a fracture is suspected, and advanced imaging may be needed for severe ligament damage. Your provider will advise based on your symptoms and exam.

How long does a sprain take to heal?

Mild sprains may heal in 1–2 weeks, while moderate or severe sprains can take 4–8 weeks or longer. Proper rest, elevation, bracing, and follow-up care support faster recovery.

What treatment options are available during the visit?

Providers may offer bracing, compression wraps, mobility guidance, pain management, and inflammation control strategies. Severe injuries may require imaging or specialist referral.

Can sprains get worse if untreated?

Yes. Untreated sprains may lead to chronic instability, repeated injuries, joint stiffness, or long-term pain. Early evaluation helps prevent complications.

How fast can mobile urgent care arrive?

Most visits are available the same day, depending on your location. Mobile care helps you avoid long waits at urgent care or ER facilities.

Is the evaluation covered by insurance?

Yes — we accept most major insurance plans. Your cost will depend on your coverage and visit type. Self-pay options are also available.

Can a sprain be evaluated through telehealth first?

A virtual visit can help determine whether your injury is likely a sprain and whether an in-person physical exam is needed. Telehealth is especially useful for initial triage and guidance.

What should I do before my appointment?

Rest the injured area, avoid bearing weight if painful, elevate the joint, and apply cold compresses. Try not to overuse the joint until evaluated.

Is my medical information private?

Yes. All visits—mobile, in-clinic, or virtual—follow strict HIPAA guidelines to keep your medical information secure and confidential.

Can children and older adults be evaluated for sprains?

Absolutely. We provide evaluations for patients of all ages, including children, athletes, adults, and seniors with mobility concerns.

When should I go to the ER instead of urgent care?

ER evaluation is recommended for severe deformity, suspected dislocation, loss of circulation, numbness, or inability to move the joint at all.
