A sudden twist, fall, or sports injury can leave you with a painful dislocated joint. At Urgent Care Plus & Wellness, we provide prompt, walk-in evaluation and treatment for minor dislocations involving fingers, toes, shoulders, and other small joints–helping patients in Richmond, Katy, Aliana, and surrounding West Houston areas get back on their feet quickly and safely.
Led by Dr. Luke Afuwape, a board-certified Emergency Medicine physician with over 15 years of experience, our clinic delivers hospital-level orthopedic care without the ER wait or cost.
I was in a car accident so having to go to an urgent care can be a very stressful ordeal, but this place was so tranquil. I was immediately seen, service was efficient, the doctor and staff were friendly and calm. I’m grateful to have a neighborhood doctor that I can trust for myself and my family when in a pinch. Their facilities are clean and new too!
Common Minor Dislocations We Treat
We treat a variety of small-joint dislocations that do not involve complex fractures or require surgical intervention, including:
- Finger dislocations
- Toe dislocations
- Mild shoulder subluxation or dislocation
- Kneecap (patella) dislocations
- Jaw (TMJ) dislocations (non-severe)
If you suspect a dislocation but aren’t sure, our team can provide on-site evaluation and digital X-rays to confirm the diagnosis.
How We Treat Minor Dislocations
Dislocations can be extremely painful and may worsen if not treated properly. Our care approach includes:
Evaluation & Imaging
We examine the joint and may use digital X-ray imaging to assess for fractures, joint alignment, and soft tissue damage.
Reduction (Repositioning)
If safe and appropriate, we carefully guide the dislocated bone back into place using a gentle technique called closed reduction.
Immobilization
After reduction, we may apply a splint, sling, or bandage to protect the joint while it heals.
Pain Control & Anti-Inflammatories
Medications may be prescribed to reduce discomfort and swelling in the short term.
Follow-Up Care Instructions
You’ll receive guidance on rest, activity restrictions, and when to follow up with a specialist if needed.
