Does Urgent Care Do X-Rays?

At Pine Knob Urgent Care, we offer comprehensive X-ray imaging services designed to promptly diagnose and effectively manage your urgent medical concerns. Our facility provides chest X-rays to quickly evaluate respiratory issues, including pneumonia, bronchitis, asthma complications, or suspected rib injuries. Additionally, our experienced medical team routinely utilizes musculoskeletal X-rays to accurately identify fractures, dislocations, sprains, and strains affecting limbs, joints, or spinal areas.

We also perform abdominal X-rays, aiding in the rapid assessment of conditions such as intestinal obstructions, kidney stones, and abdominal pain of uncertain origin. For patients experiencing minor injuries like sprained ankles, wrists, or other joint traumas, our diagnostic imaging capabilities allow our clinicians to determine appropriate treatment plans swiftly and decide whether referral to an orthopedic specialist is needed.

Please note that, like most urgent care settings, Pine Knob Urgent Care does not provide advanced imaging such as computed tomography (CT scans), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or ultrasound. If your medical condition requires these specialized imaging services, we will promptly facilitate a referral to a trusted imaging center or hospital.

At Pine Knob Urgent Care, our goal is to offer timely, high-quality X-ray imaging services to ensure you receive accurate diagnoses and appropriate care for your acute medical conditions and injuries.

At Pine Knob Urgent Care, we understand that when you’re injured or in pain, timely diagnosis and treatment are essential. That’s why we offer convenient, on-site X-ray imaging technology, allowing us to quickly assess your condition—often within the same visit. In most cases, our experienced medical staff can review your X-ray images and provide a preliminary assessment within minutes to an hour.

While immediate preliminary findings help guide prompt treatment decisions, sometimes a final, official interpretation by a radiologist may be necessary. Depending on the nature of your injury and our facility’s protocols, this official reading could take a few hours or up to a day. If a radiologist’s definitive interpretation is needed, we will clearly communicate the timeline and any next steps.

At Pine Knob Urgent Care, our priority is to deliver accurate, timely care tailored to your specific needs. Rest assured, we will always explain clearly what can be determined immediately from your X-ray and whether additional follow-up or consultation is recommended. Our goal is to ensure you leave our center confident in your diagnosis and treatment plan.

However, insurance policies can vary. Some insurance providers may require prior authorization or a referral from your primary care physician to cover diagnostic imaging costs, including X-rays. To avoid unexpected expenses and ensure clarity regarding your coverage, we recommend verifying your insurance policy guidelines or contacting your insurance provider before your visit.
