Understanding Minor Injuries

Minor injuries are common and can happen during daily activities, work, sports, or accidents at home. While these injuries are not life-threatening, they still require proper medical evaluation to prevent infection, complications, or long-term discomfort. At Unity Family Health Center, we provide prompt, professional care for minor injuries so you can heal safely and return to normal activities faster.

Common Minor Injuries We Treat

  • Minor cuts, scrapes, and abrasions
  • Bruises and soft tissue injuries
  • Minor burns
  • Sprains and strains
  • Minor fractures (initial evaluation and referral if needed)
  • Swelling, tenderness, or localized pain

Our Comprehensive Treatment Approach

We begin with a careful assessment of the injury, including how it occurred and the severity of symptoms. Treatment may include wound cleaning, bandaging, pain management, stabilization, and clear after-care instructions. When needed, we guide patients on imaging, follow-up care, or referral to specialists.

Prevention & Recovery Tips

Proper wound care, rest, ice, compression, elevation, and early evaluation help reduce healing time and complications.

When to Seek Immediate Care
