FAQs
The healing time for a foot injury depends on the severity. Mild sprains and strains heal within a few days to two weeks, while moderate to severe injuries, including fractures, can take six weeks or longer. At NextCare Urgent Care, we assess your injury and provide a personalized treatment plan to speed up recovery.
Go to urgent care if you have a sprain, strain, minor fracture, or moderate swelling and pain. Visit the ER if your foot is severely misaligned, has an open fracture (bone sticking out), or if you have extreme, unbearable pain. NextCare Urgent Care treats most non-emergency foot injuries with same-day care.
A serious foot injury may require urgent medical attention if you experience:
- Severe pain or swelling that worsens
- Difficulty standing or walking
- A visible deformity or open wound
- Numbness, tingling, or loss of sensation
If you have any of these symptoms, visit NextCare Urgent Care for a foot injury evaluation and treatment.
At NextCare Urgent Care, we diagnose foot injuries using:
- Physical examination to check swelling, pain, and range of motion
- On-site X-rays to detect fractures, dislocations, or other issues

Urgent care costs vary between $125 and $300 based on the type of treatment needed. However, NextCare offers an affordable Medical Discount Program, which provides discounted office visits, lab tests, and X-rays for self-pay patients.
To speed up recovery, follow the R.I.C.E. method:
- Rest – Avoid putting weight on the injured foot.
- Ice – Apply ice packs for 15-20 minutes every few hours.
- Compression – Use a wrap or bandage to reduce swelling.
- Elevation – Keep your foot raised to minimize swelling.
For severe pain or prolonged discomfort, visit NextCare Urgent Care for same-day treatment.
