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

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.
