Expert Injury Treatment at Eastlake Urgent Care in Chula Vista

Injuries can happen in an instant — whether it’s a slip on the sidewalk, a sports mishap, or a burn in the kitchen. At Eastlake Urgent Care, we provide immediate care for a wide range of non-life-threatening injuries. Our goal is to relieve pain, promote healing, and get you back on your feet as quickly and safely as possible.

What Does Injury Care Include?

Injury care refers to the evaluation and treatment of acute injuries that don’t require emergency room attention but still need prompt medical care. We treat everything from bruises and strains to minor fractures and eye irritations — all handled by licensed, experienced providers.

Our services include:

• Sprains and strains

• Minor fractures and dislocations

• Cuts, scrapes, and lacerations

• Burns and abrasions

• Eye injuries and foreign body removal

Common Injuries We Treat

Sprains and Strains

These occur when ligaments (sprains) or muscles/tendons (strains) are overstretched or torn. Symptoms include swelling, bruising, and difficulty moving the joint.

Treatment may involve:

• Compression bandaging

• Ice therapy

• Immobilization with splints or braces

Minor Fractures

If you suspect a broken bone but don’t have severe swelling or a bone protruding through the skin, Eastlake Urgent Care can help.

We provide:

• Splinting or referral for casting

• Pain management

• Follow-up care coordination

Cuts and Lacerations

Not every cut needs an ER visit. We can clean, disinfect, and close wounds with stitches or skin adhesives as needed.

Additional care may include:

• Tetanus shots

• Wound dressings

• Infection prevention

Burns

We treat first- and mild second-degree burns caused by heat, chemicals, or sun exposure.

Treatment includes:

• Cooling and dressing the burn

• Pain relief medication

• Infection control

Eye Injuries

Foreign objects, minor scratches, or chemical exposure can all harm the eye. If you experience redness, pain, or blurred vision, seek immediate evaluation.

We offer:

• Eye flushing and irrigation

• Removal of foreign objects

• Medication and referrals if needed

When to Choose Urgent Care Over the ER

Come to urgent care if you experience:

• Moderate swelling or pain

• Visible deformity that isn’t severe
