Urgent Care Needs

  • If you’re experiencing mild abdominal pain and aren’t sure if a visit to your primary care physician is necessary, or if they can’t squeeze you in, a visit to MedNorth Urgent Care could help relieve your discomfort.

    Many of the minor conditions we see related to abdominal pain include
    - UTI (urinary tract infection)
    - Stomach viruses
    - Flu
    - Gas and/or constipation
    - Food-related issues, such as food poisoning or a food allergy
    - Heartburn or indigestion

    Depending on the cause of your abdominal pain, we will determine a treatment plan to try and help you find relief. We may ask you to follow up with a second appointment based on our findings and your treatment plan.

  • Bladder pain may be caused by any number of issues including:
    • persistent ache or pressure in the lower abdomen
    • burning sensation during urination
    • an urgent or frequent need to urinate
    • urinary tract infections (UTI)
    • Bladder Stones
    • Interstitial Cystitis (IC)
    • Lower back pain

    If you experience bladder pain or discomfort that is persistent or severe, or if it is accompanied by other symptoms such as blood in the urine, fever, or difficulty urinating, it's important to seek medical attention promptly.

  • Difficulty breathing is a common symptom of many health conditions, such as respiratory infections, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), anxiety, and allergies.

    Mild shortness of breath can be due to physical exertion or anxiety, while severe shortness of breath can be a sign of a medical emergency. If you experience sudden, severe, or persistent shortness of breath, please visit your local emergency room as these symptoms necessitate immediate medical attention.

  • Dehydration occurs when there’s a deficiency of water. Inadequate fluid intake from excessive sweating (e.g., from intense physical activity or hot weather), vomiting or diarrhea, fever, certain medications, diabetes, or alcohol consumption can all impair our ability to retain water.

    Some common signs of severe dehydration include:
    • extreme thirst
    • very dry mouth and skin
    • little to no urination
    • dark or concentrated urine
    • dizziness or lightheadedness
    • rapid heartbeat
    • rapid breathing
    • sunken eyes, confusion or irritability
    • fatigue or weakness
    • and in severe cases, unconsciousness or delirium.

    High temperatures and overexertion are normally the cause. Water and drinks with electrolytes can treat dehydration in most cases. In more severe cases, dehydration should be treated by your team of professionals.

  • High blood pressure, called hypertension, is a serious condition that could cause complications. Treating it might normally require lifestyle changes but could also involve medications.

    Hypertension, or high blood pressure, is a major cause of several serious health complications. It significantly increases the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks, strokes, and heart failure.

    Hypertension can also lead to the development or worsening of other conditions, including kidney disease, peripheral artery disease, and aneurysms.

  • Allergy symptoms and influenza (the flu) can present with very similar symptoms, including: coughing, a runny or stuffy nose, congestion, sneezing, and/or a sore throat, so it’s very important to distinguish between the two.

    Depending on the severity of your allergy, symptoms can vary from mild to severe. Many people begin to experience allergies in early spring and continue to feel the effects throughout the entire year.

    Coughing is a common symptom and is a response to an allergen having irritated or inflamed your airways after you have breathed it in. Allergens that can result in coughing include: dust, mold, cockroaches, hay fever, and pet fur.

    Allergies can't be eliminated, but we can definitely manage them.

  • An ear, nose, and throat doctor (ENT) specializes in everything having to do with those parts of the body. This particular practice of medicine is known as otolaryngology.

    The following are just some of the reasons or symptoms someone might seek ENT treatment:
    • Sinus Pain and/or pressure
    • Runny nose/Post nasal drip
    • Loss of smell
    • Nasal congestion
    • Ear ache
    • Ringing in the ears
    • Hearing loss
    • Frequent bloody noses
    • Tonsillitis
    • Step throat
    • Dry throat
    • Difficulty swallowing
    • Painful swallowing

  • Skin rashes can occur from issues like infection, allergic reactions, and medication side effects. If you experience an unusual rash, it's best to get it checked out, especially rashes affecting children.

    Rashes can be caused by a variety of factors, such as allergies, infections, autoimmune disorders, or exposure to irritants or environmental factors.

    Some common causes of rashes include:
    • contact dermatitis
    • atopic dermatitis (eczema)
    • psoriasis
    • hives (urticaria)
    • fungal infections (such as ringworm)
    • bacterial infections (such as impetigo)
    • viral infections (such as chickenpox or shingles).

    Seek immediate care if the rash is accompanied by fever, shortness of breath, or chest pain.

  • A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary organs: the bladder, ureter, urethra, and/or kidneys. UTIs occur when normal gastrointestinal flora (most commonly E. coli bacteria, which live in the bowel) make their way into the urinary tract.

    UTIs can pose more serious health problems if they spread to the kidneys, so it is important to treat them early. Using a heating pad can help relieve pain caused by a UTI. Drinking plenty of water (two to three liters daily) and urinating immediately after sex may help prevent recurring UTIs.

    Symptoms generally improve within 48 hours; if they don’t, you should contact your healthcare provider.

  • Symptoms of discomfort due to pregnancy are very common and can vary from woman to woman.

    The following are some common discomforts. However, each mother-to-be may experience symptoms differently or not at all:

    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Fatigue
    • Hemorrhoids
    • Varicose veins
    • Heartburn and indigestion
    • Bleeding gums
    • Swelling or fluid retention
    • Skin changes
    • Stretch marks
    • Yeast infections
    • Congested or bloody nose
    • Constipation
    • Backache
    • Dizziness
    • Headaches

  • When it comes to staying healthy, immunization is key. Immunizations help protect us from diseases and keep the entire community healthy by preventing the spread of disease.

    Currently, we only offer, Flu, Tdap, Straight Tetanus, Hep-A and Hep-B.

  • Coughing, a congested or runny nose, sore throat, and fever are all tell-tale signs of an Upper Respiratory Infection, or URI. Most cases of URI will go away on their own. However, you should seek medical care, if you experience a severe fever or if your symptoms persist for more than two weeks.

    Symptoms of a URI include:
    • runny or stuffy nose
    • sore throat
    • cough
    • headache
    • fever
    • body aches

    You may also experience:
    • fatigue
    • congestion
    • loss of appetite

Tests + Exams

  • An electrocardiogram (ECG) is a simple, non-invasive test that records the electrical activity of the heart. An ECG can help diagnose certain heart conditions, including abnormal heart rhythms and coronary heart disease (heart attack and angina).

  • An X-ray is a common imaging test that’s been used for decades. It can help your doctor view the inside of your body without having to make an incision. This can help them diagnose, monitor, and treat many medical conditions.

    There are some risks involved in getting an X-ray. But for most people, the potential benefits outweigh the risks.

  • One of the primary benefits of an on-site laboratory is the speed with which results can be obtained. Instead of sending samples off-site for testing and waiting for the results to be returned, an on-site laboratory can produce results within hours or even minutes.

    In some cases, we also work with off-site laboratory testing facilities, if required.

  • Most schools and some places of employment may require a physical prior to competing in an upcoming sports season or beginning a new job.

    A physical exam checks your overall health. Your healthcare provider will evaluate the basic function of your organs, address any concerns, update your vaccinations and help you get healthy or maintain good health.

    Sports physicals are typically not covered by insurance and are a cash-paid service. Some insurance companies require that general physicals are performed in a PCP office. Please check with your insurance provider on this requirement.

Trauma + Injury

  • Foreign objects can be anything that doesn’t belong inside the body. Common foreign objects include coins, toys, batteries, safety pins, or jewelry pieces. They can be swallowed or inserted accidentally or intentionally and get lodged in different body parts.

    A foreign object caught in an airway might lead to a critical medical emergency as it may prevent one from breathing correctly.

  • Eye injuries include bruises, punctures and scratches. They can result from sports injuries, accidents, exposure to chemicals or foreign objects in the eye.

    These can cause pain, swelling, redness and other symptoms. Some people see flashes of light or have vision changes. Serious injuries to the eye may cause permanent vision loss.

    Some eye injuries heal with rest and at-home treatments. Others can cause serious eye damage and vision loss.

  • Burns are most commonly caused by extreme heat, but chemicals, extreme cold, and other irritants can also burn.

    Minor burns usually heal without treatment, but more serious (2nd and 3rd degree) burns should be examined by a medical professional. If not properly treated, the burn may develop serious complications.

  • Injuries that may require immediate attention include a bite, laceration, puncture, or deep cut. These types of wounds may require stitches or surgical sutures to hold body tissues together and close up wound edges. This course of action will stop the bleeding and help repair any damage in the underlying tissue.

  • Sports and other physical activities offer numerous benefits for overall health and well-being, but they also come with the risk of injuries.

    From sprains and strains to minor fractures, athletes often face challenges that require prompt and specialized medical attention. We specialize in treating many sports injuries and help athletes get back on their feet.

    • Knee pain or swelling
    • Ankle sprain
    • Rotator cuff tears or strains
    • Tennis elbow
    • Minor fractures
    • Dislocations
    • Jammed finger, Trigger finger
