Types of Falls and Injuries We Treat

At Village Emergency Centers, we are equipped to handle injuries resulting from all types of falls, including:

Fractures

Breaks in bones, such as arms, legs, or hips, that need immediate stabilization.

Sprains and Strains

Damage to ligaments or muscles that cause pain, swelling, and reduced mobility.

Dislocations

When a joint, such as a shoulder or knee, is forced out of its normal position.

Head Injuries

Including concussions and other traumatic brain injuries that require urgent evaluation.

Cuts and Lacerations

Deep wounds or skin tears that may need stitches or other treatments to prevent infection.

Back and Neck Injuries

Pain or damage to the spine, often caused by falls, requiring careful diagnosis and treatment.

How We Diagnose and Treat Injuries from Falls

At Village Emergency Centers, we use state-of-the-art diagnostic tools to evaluate and treat injuries from falls. Our process typically includes:

X-Rays

To detect fractures and dislocations that may not be visible externally.

MRI Scans

To examine soft tissue injuries, such as torn ligaments or sprained muscles.

Wound Care

Treatment for cuts and abrasions to prevent infection and promote healing.

CT Scans

For more detailed imaging, especially useful for head injuries, neck pain, or spinal issues.

Fracture Treatment

If a bone is broken, we provide casts, splints, or referral for surgical intervention if necessary.

Pain Management

Depending on the severity of the injury, we offer medications or other treatments to manage pain effectively.

Our team works quickly to ensure that all injuries are properly diagnosed and treated, minimizing the risk of long-term damage or complications.

Symptoms That Indicate You Need Immediate Injury Treatment

Injury symptoms can vary, but certain signs indicate that you should seek emergency medical care immediately. At Village Emergency Centers, we recommend seeking treatment if you experience any of the following:

Severe pain that doesn’t improve with rest or over-the-counter pain relievers
Inability to move or bear weight on the injured limb
Swelling, bruising, or deformity around the injured area
Head trauma with dizziness, confusion, or loss of consciousness
Numbness or tingling in the limbs after a fall
Bleeding that doesn’t stop or requires stitches

These symptoms could signal a more serious underlying issue, such as a fracture, concussion, or spinal injury.

Immediate vs. Follow-Up Care for Injury Recovery

After treating the initial injury, Village Emergency Centers emphasizes the importance of follow-up care to ensure proper healing. In cases of more serious injuries like fractures or head trauma, we may refer you to a specialist for continued treatment. We also provide guidance on how to manage pain, swelling, and other symptoms at home, and we recommend follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery.

FAQs About Falls and Injury

Falls are common and caused by a variety of conditions that are both internal and external. Most falls don’t result in a serious injury, but in some cases, they can lead to broken bones, especially if you have a medical condition that specifically affects and weakens the bones. As well,Brain injuries are a major concern, as well, if you hit your head in a fall
A fall is more likely to happen when:

– The lighting is dark and makes it difficult to navigate
– Rugs and carpets aren’t sufficiently secured to the floor
– The surface is wet or slippery, such as on a newly-mopped floor or icy sidewalk

Falls can often happen when people are going down stairs or trying to lift heavy objects. Sometimes, falls happen at night when people are tired and making their way to the bathroom, or while working around the house and climbing a ladder.
Delayed treatment of injuries sustained in a fall can often lead to long-term complications and disability, making prompt medical attention at Village Emergency Centers a good idea.

People with underlying medical conditions and weakened immune systems are more vulnerable and likely to fall.

Older people are also more likely to fall since they often have balance problems, muscle weakness, poor vision, and other long-term health complications that can lead to cognitive impairment, dizziness, and even a brief loss of consciousness.

A large portion of the elderly population also takes prescribed medications that can trigger secondary injuries after a fall, such as bleeding in the head from medications designed to reduce blood clotting.
Certain medical conditions — such as osteoporosis and other bone-related conditions — can make falls particularly dangerous, since bones are much more likely to be fragile and break.

If your head sustained any trauma in a fall or accident, and you experience any of the following symptoms, call 9-1-1 or visit the Village Emergency Centers right away, any hour, day or night:
– Headache
– Ringing in your ears
– Balance or coordination challenges
– Inability to focus or see properly
– Fluid leaking from your ear or nose
– Loss of consciousness
– Memory loss
– Mood changes
– Reduced muscle control
– Seizures
– Unusual eye movements
– Vomiting

While minor bruises or cuts may not require emergency treatment, it’s important to have more serious symptoms checked to rule out fractures or internal injuries. If you’re unsure, it’s always safer to seek a professional evaluation.

What Our Patients are Saying About Our Emergency Care Services

Amy Trim

League City

“This emergency room is absolute AMAZING. Both my husband & I have been treated here & have had phenomenal experiences. They always treat you with love & respect. They run all of the tests that are needed, but they don’t add a bunch of unnecessary test. We all know that doctors are human, but sometimes I think some doctors forget that but not at Clear Creek Emergency Room. Dr. Luna, Dr. Cruz, and Rommel, RN are amazing!”

“I was pleased to know there’s a place to get urgent care when needed. I was taken care off promptly and efficiently. Dr. Luna treated me with respect and was very informative about my health condition. I actually was in and out of there in 3 hours. Everything was explained to me and I am happy to know there’s a place like this Jersey Village ER. Hopefully, I will not need to return but if I need to I know I will get great care. Thank you Dr Luna and staff.”
