URGENT CARE FOR ALL
Specialized head-to-toe urgent care — no appointment needed. OrthoArkansas Urgent Care treats patients with recent injuries, sprains or fractures.
At our Urgent Care clinics, patients are examined by a nurse practitioner or physician assistant, X-rays are ordered if needed, and diagnosis and treatment are provided.
Please Note:
If you have had X-rays or imaging at another facility, please bring the physical copy of your images (a CD is preferred) to your urgent care visit. This will prevent us from having to repeat your X-rays.
Due to patients being seen without scheduled appointment times, we are unable to predict wait times for the urgent care clinic.

Frequent Asked Questions
Where should I go for emergency care for sudden orthopedic injuries?
Picture this: it’s a weekday afternoon, and a pickup game at Burns Park ends with you cradling a swollen wrist. A quick search for emergency ortho care in North Little Rock might point to general clinics, but bone, joint, or muscle injuries deserve orthopedic-focused evaluation. At OrthoArkansas North Little Rock, our providers see you right away, order on-site X-rays, and apply splints or casts within minutes. No bouncing between facilities; your entire visit happens under one roof geared specifically for musculoskeletal problems.
Looking for an urgent care near me that treats bones and joints?
Injuries don’t always happen at a convenient time. Maybe you slip on a wet kitchen floor after dinner or feel a “pop” in your knee during an evening walk on the Arkansas River Trail. You need an urgent care in North Little Rock that can see you quickly for bone and joint problems. OrthoArkansas Urgent Care in North Little Rock is open 8 a.m.–5 p.m., Monday through Friday. That means you’re treated promptly by orthopedic specialists instead of waiting for a scheduled appointment, when pain and swelling can ramp up.
Is the closest urgent care to me prepared for specialized orthopedic care?
North Little Rock parents know time is critical when a child’s fracture is suspected. Rather than waiting at a hospital ER, choose the closest urgent care to me that specializes in bones and joints. We’re easy to reach on Landers Road, just off I-40 and minutes from the McCain Boulevard corridor. Convenient parking and a straightforward check-in speed the process, so your family member is diagnosed, splinted, and on the road to healing before anxiety sets in.
How can same day ortho care help me avoid long ER waits?
Many strains and sprains respond best to early intervention: compression wraps, controlled motion, and, when needed, ultrasound-guided injections. Our clinic offers same day ortho care with access to MRI scheduling, bracing, and physical-therapy referrals before you leave. Early, orthopedic-specific guidance prevents minor damage from turning into chronic pain, saving you money and downtime later.
Real-world examples we see every week:
| Situation | Why Same-Day Matters |
| Softball slide at Burns Park ends in a jammed, swollen finger | Timely reduction of a dislocation prevents joint stiffness and nerve issues. |
| Warehouse worker on Landers Road lifts a heavy box and hears a “pop” in the knee | On-the-spot exam and brace stabilize the joint, avoiding further cartilage damage. |
| Cyclist on the Arkansas River Trail lands on an outstretched wrist | Rapid imaging distinguishes a sprain from a fracture, guiding proper splint or cast use. |
| Runner rolls an ankle stepping off a curb near McCain Mall | Immediate X-ray rules out a break, guiding the right boot or brace. |
