On-site X-Ray

Ridgeline Medical is equipped with on-site X-ray facilities, enabling us to provide immediate imaging services crucial for diagnosing a range of conditions from bone fractures to internal injuries. Our state-of-the-art X-ray technology ensures high-quality images, which are essential for accurate diagnosis. Having this capability on-site speeds up the treatment process, as patients do not need to visit another location for their diagnostic tests, leading to faster and more effective care.

Same Day Results

At Ridgeline Medical, we understand that waiting for medical results can be stressful. That’s why we offer same-day results for many of our diagnostic tests, including blood tests, X-rays, and other imaging. This rapid turnaround helps in quick decision-making and early initiation of treatment, ensuring that our patients can start their recovery as soon as possible without the anxiety of waiting for test outcomes.

Sprains

Sprains are common injuries that occur when ligaments are stretched or torn. At Ridgeline Medical, we provide expert care for sprains, starting with a thorough assessment to determine the severity of the injury. Treatment options may include rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), along with physical therapy to restore strength and flexibility to the affected area. Our goal is to reduce pain and swelling quickly and help patients return to their normal activities safely.

Strains

Strains, often confused with sprains, involve the muscles or tendons. Ridgeline Medical offers specialized treatment for strains, which includes proper rest, ice application to reduce inflammation, and compression techniques. Rehabilitation exercises are also a critical part of the treatment to prevent stiffness and enhance muscle function. Our team provides personalized care plans to ensure a full and efficient recovery.

Broken Bone

Handling broken bones requires precise and immediate care, which Ridgeline Medical is fully equipped to provide. Our on-site X-ray facilities assist in the accurate diagnosis of the fracture. Treatment typically involves immobilization with a cast or splint, pain management, and sometimes surgery if the break is complex. We also offer follow-up care, including physical therapy, to ensure complete healing and restoration of movement.
