  • Custom splints made in the clinic with OrthoGlass or fiberglass
  • Walking boots
  • Crutches
  • Slings

Supplies are priced separately, based on what your injury needs.

X-rays and fast orthopedic referrals

Our Steele Creek clinic does X-rays every day we’re open, for $95 per body part, with the radiologist’s read included. Your provider reads it right away, and a radiologist confirms it, usually within 2 hours.

  • Simple break: we splint it in the clinic and plan your follow-up
  • Displaced break or one that may need surgery: we splint it and set you up with an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in that body part, aiming for a day or two when appropriate, depending on urgency and specialist availability
  • Some small fractures don’t show up on the first X-ray. If you’re not getting better, your provider may repeat the X-ray in a week or two

Joint and trigger point injections

Some of our providers specialize in joint injections and offer them at both clinics. Steroid injections may help selected diagnosed conditions after assessment. A hot, red, swollen joint, especially with fever, needs urgent assessment for infection. Injections can temporarily raise blood glucose.

  • Knee injections
  • Shoulder injections
  • Elbow injections
  • Trigger point injections for tight, painful muscle knots

We most often use Kenalog or dexamethasone. Self-pay, the injection is $225, including the medicine and the procedure, plus the $140 visit.

Call to schedule your injection

Joint injections are best scheduled with one of our joint injection providers. Call Steele Creek at (980) 880-5588 or Plaza Midwood at (704) 731-8656. If you come in for an injury first, your provider can schedule it for you.

Muscle strains, back pain and sports injuries

These are some of the most common injuries we see. Depending on what’s going on, your provider may:

  • Send a prescription for pain, swelling or muscle spasms
  • Show you exercises to help you heal
  • Give an injection in the clinic
  • Refer you to physical therapy
  • Set up a follow-up visit to check your progress

Why you shouldn’t wait

Waiting can turn a quick visit into a bigger problem.

If you wait What can happen
A sprain without support The joint can stay weak and keep giving out
A break that isn’t splinted It can heal crooked and may need surgery later
A dislocated finger left out of place It gets harder to put back and can stay stiff
A muscle strain or back pain you push through A longer recovery and a higher chance of hurting it again

How much does injury care cost?

Have insurance? You pay your plan’s share
  • Copay: you pay your copay at the visit. Your copay depends on your plan.
  • Deductible or coinsurance: we bill your plan, and you get a bill later for your share.
  • NC Medicaid plans: we are in network with most NC Medicaid plans; copays are usually $0 or $4. Confirm with your plan.

I took my mother-in-law to their urgent care earlier this week, and we were both so impressed. The practice is brand new and spotlessly clean – everything looks and feels modern and super clean. From the moment we walked in, the staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. We barely waited at all before being seen, which was a pleasant surprise for an urgent care visit. We saw Dr. Lee, and he was outstanding. He’s clearly very knowledgeable, took the time to listen carefully, explained everything in an easy-to-understand way, and has wonderful bedside manner. His clinical decisions were spot-on; my mother-in-law started feeling much better almost immediately after following his treatment plan. She’s still talking about how kind and thorough he was and wanted me to be sure to thank him! The entire atmosphere of the office is warm, calm, and genuinely welcoming – it doesn’t feel rushed or cold like some places can. If you’re looking for a patient-centered practice that combines real medical expertise with a caring environment, OneSpotMD is the place to go.
