Same-Day Injury Evaluation and Treatment, No Referral Needed
Orthopedic urgent care combines the walk-in convenience of an urgent care clinic with specialized expertise in bone, joint, muscle, tendon, and sports related injuries. Instead of waiting days or weeks for a specialist, patients can have their injuries evaluated and treated the same day they happen. Southern Urgent Care provides orthopedic urgent care Savannah, GA, and Whitemarsh Island so residents can simply walk into, with no referral, no emergency room wait, and no weeks-long delay for a specialist appointment.
Our team is led by Jason Miller, PA-C, who brings seven years of dedicated orthopedic experience, and is shaped by the vision of Stephen Larson, MD, offers on-site digital X-rays, non-surgical treatment plans, and advanced options such as PRP therapy all in one visit.
What Is Orthopedic Urgent Care?
Orthopedic urgent care is walk-in medical care focused on injuries and pain and conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Instead of spending hours sitting in an emergency room or waiting weeks for a specialist referral, you can walk in, be examined by a provider with orthopedic experience, get an X-ray if needed, and leave with a diagnosis and personalized treatment plan the same day. It is designed for non-life-threatening injuries such as suspected fractures, sprains, joint pain, and overuse injuries.

Why Choose Southern Urgent Care for Orthopedic Injury Treatment?
Orthopedic Experience You Can Walk Into
Our clinic is led by Jason Miller, PA-C, with seven years of dedicated orthopedic experience, and is built on the medical vision of Stephen Larson, MD. That means the provider examining your injury understands bones and joints, not just general illness.
On-Site Digital X-Rays
No separate imaging appointment. Digital X-rays are taken during your visit, so diagnosis and treatment happen in the same trip.
A Non-Surgical First Approach
We focus on joint preservation and non-surgical care, from bracing and injections to PRP therapy, and coordinate a specialist referral when your condition genuinely needs one.
One Visit Instead of a Referral Chain
We bridge the gap between retail walk-in clinics, which often cannot treat injuries, and orthopedic specialists you might have to wait weeks to see. For more than eleven years, patients across Savannah, Whitemarsh Island, Wilmington Island, Tybee Island, and Thunderbolt have used us as that middle path.
Advanced Regenerative Option: PRP Therapy
For tendon and joint injuries that have not improved with rest and conventional care, we offer platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy. PRP uses a concentrated sample of your own blood, applied at the injury site, and may support the body’s natural tissue repair, particularly in areas with limited blood supply. Ask our providers whether PRP is appropriate for your injury.
Orthopedic Urgent Care or Emergency Room: Where Should You Go?
Most bone, joint, and muscle injuries can be handled at our walk-in orthopedic clinic the same day. Go to the emergency room or call 911 instead if you have any of the following:
- A bone visible through the skin or a severely deformed limb
- Heavy or uncontrolled bleeding
- A head, neck, or spine injury
- Loss of consciousness, or numbness and loss of movement in a limb
- Chest pain or trouble breathing
What to Expect at Your Orthopedic Visit
Walk in during opening hours, no appointment needed. Bring a valid ID, your insurance card if you have one, and a list of your current medications. A provider will examine your injury, take digital X-rays on site if needed, and explain your diagnosis and treatment options before you leave. If specialist care is required, we will coordinate the referral for you. Discounted rates are available for self-pay patients.
Frequently Asked Questions About Orthopedic Urgent Care
Do I need an appointment or a referral for orthopedic care?
No. Southern Urgent Care is a walk-in clinic, so no appointment and no referral are needed. If your condition requires specialist or surgical care, our providers will coordinate the appropriate referral after your evaluation.
Can you treat broken bones?
Yes. We evaluate suspected fractures with on-site digital X-rays and provide same-day stabilization and treatment for many bone breaks. Severe or complex fractures, such as a bone visible through the skin, need emergency room care.
Do you offer X-rays on site?
Yes. Digital X-rays are taken on site during your visit, so you do not need a separate imaging appointment to get answers about your injury.
How long will I wait to be seen?
Our goal is to have you seen by a provider within minutes of walking in, and most straightforward visits are completed within about an hour. Wait times can vary with walk-in volume.
Is PRP therapy right for my injury?
It depends on your condition. PRP therapy is most often considered for tendon injuries and certain joint conditions that have not improved with rest and conventional care. Our providers will evaluate your injury and discuss whether PRP may be appropriate for you.
