There are many types of bodily wounds, ranging from minor cuts and scrapes to more serious punctures of the skin that cause severe bleeding and potentially even internal damage. If you or a loved one has sustained a severe wound that may be life- or limb-threatening, it’s best to call 911 or head to the emergency room as quickly as possible. If you’re in St. Johns, Howell or Carson City, Michigan, and you’re experiencing a less serious wound, Ouch Urgent Care stands ready to provide fast and convenient treatment with no appointment required. We treat patients of all ages, and we’re open daily with extended hours.

Types of Wound Care We Provide

Any injury that breaks the skin is considered a wound. Although many wounds can be cleaned and cared for at home, there’s always the risk for infection. An infected wound can trigger the body’s immune response, thus leading to inflammation and the potential for more extensive damage. The infection can also spread to other body tissue, which can turn a relatively minor injury into a serious illness.

The highly trained and certified medical practitioners at Ouch Urgent Care are experienced in evaluating lacerations and puncture wounds and providing effective treatment, including disinfection and stitches or bandages. Moreover, if your wound is the result of a fall or another similar mishap that could have caused a bone fracture, we can provide digital X-rays on site.
