When you’re dealing with a minor injury or painful condition, timely and skilled care can make all the difference. At Eastlake Urgent Care in Chula Vista, we perform a range of common procedures right on-site — no need to wait days for an appointment or visit a hospital.

What Are “Common Procedures” in Urgent Care?

Urgent care centers are designed to handle non-life-threatening medical needs quickly and safely. Our providers are trained to perform routine but essential procedures that can help you feel better, prevent complications, and avoid emergency room visits.

Our most common procedures include:

• Stitches (suturing): For cuts or lacerations that need closing

• Wound care: Cleaning, dressing, and monitoring minor wounds

• Abscess drainage: Safe, sterile drainage of painful infections

• Splinting: Stabilizing sprains, strains, and minor fractures

Stitches and Wound Care – Quick and Clean

Whether it’s a kitchen accident, sports injury, or a fall, we treat a variety of minor cuts and wounds. Our team ensures:

• Thorough cleaning to prevent infection

• Skillful suturing for better healing and reduced scarring

• Bandaging and aftercare instructions

• Tetanus shots, if needed

You don’t need a hospital visit for most lacerations — we can handle them efficiently and compassionately.

Abscess Drainage – Fast Relief from Infection

If you have a painful lump or swelling, it might be an abscess. We provide:

• Same-day incision and drainage

• Local anesthesia for comfort

• Post-procedure wound care and antibiotics

• Follow-up recommendations

Abscesses can worsen if untreated — early intervention can speed healing and prevent spread.

Splinting for Sprains and Minor Fractures

Suspect a sprain, strain, or small fracture? We provide and apply:

• Supportive splints or braces
