Union Health’s Ortho Walk-In Clinic Allows You To Be Seen Today !

When you have a sudden injury and need treatment, the Ortho Walk-In Clinic at the Union Medical Group Bone & Joint Center is a convenient way to be seen. We evaluate injuries related to bones, joints, and muscles (sprains, strains, simple fractures, acute/recent bone and joint problems). Patients will receive an initial evaluation and X-rays, as needed.

When is Union Health’s Ortho Walk-In Clinic available? Where is it located?  

• The Ortho Walk-In Clinic is open Monday-Thursday 8 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. and Friday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. 
• The Ortho Walk-In Clinic is located inside Bone & Joint South at 4601 South 7th Street in Terre Haute.

What should I expect during my visit to the Union Health Ortho Walk-In Clinic? Will I need X-rays?

• A Union Health Orthopedic expert will evaluate your injury. Your care provider will determine the extent of your injury and if x-rays are needed. Please note that in most cases, X-rays will be taken during your visit to evaluate your injury.  
• The Union Health Ortho Walk-In Clinic can take X-rays during your visit. If additional imaging, such as an MRI or CT scan, is deemed necessary by your care provider, we will make every effort to schedule your imaging appointment before your departure. If this is not possible due to insurance or hours of operation, someone from the Union Health scheduling team will contact you to schedule advanced imaging.  
• Please remember that walk-in patients are seen on a first-come, first-served basis.   

What type of injuries can be evaluated at the Union Health Ortho Walk-In Clinic?  

• We evaluate injuries related to bones, joints, and muscles (sprains, strains, simple fractures, acute/recent bone and joint problems). What about back pain? If you have suffered a recent back injury (two weeks ago or less) due to lifting, a fall, or sports-related activity, your injury can be assessed by one of our Union Health Orthopedic experts. If you are experiencing chronic back pain (lasting more than 2 weeks), we recommend making an appointment with one of our Union Health spine or pain specialists.  

Is a visit to the Union Health Ortho Walk-In Clinic a better option than going to the Emergency Room?  

• Union Hospital’s busy Emergency Department sees all manner of illnesses and serious injuries, which can lead to extended wait times for you. The Union Health Ortho Walk-In Clinic is designed specifically to evaluate injuries related to bones, joints, and muscles, which means you’ll receive specialized care from a Union Health Orthopedic expert. You are also likely to experience a much shorter wait time (please note that we tend to be busiest on Mondays, immediately after lunch, and at the end of the school day).  

How long will I have to wait to be seen?  

• Injuries are unpredictable, which makes our walk-in volume unpredictable. Since no appointment is required for our walk-in clinic, we cannot predict how many people will come in at any given time or how serious their injuries may be. The Union Health Ortho Walk-In Clinic team will always strive to treat your injuries as efficiently as possible so you can get back to your day. Still, your wait will depend on our daily patient volume.  

What if my injury occurs on a weekend?  

• If you suffer an injury related to bones, joints, and muscles (sprains, strains, simple fractures, acute/recent bone and joint problems) on Saturday or Sunday, one of Union Health’s Convenient Care locations can do an initial evaluation of your injury.

• Our Convenient Care Eastside location at Sycamore Terrace is open Saturday 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. and is closed on Sunday.
