Urgent conditions that can be treated at WithCare Clinic

Are you searching for immediate relief and expert care for any of your illnesses? Visit WithCare Clinic, your go-to destination for prompt and cost-effective medical treatment.

Whether you're dealing with common symptoms like fever, headache, sore throat, muscle strains etc. or you want rapid on-site testing for an illness, WithCare Clinic is here to assist you.

Why WithCare Clinic?

WithCare Clinic is a trusted and reliable alternative to the emergency room for non-life-threatening medical conditions. We proudly serve patients in the Hurst-Euless-Bedford area. Our patients prefer our clinic over an emergency room visit for the following reasons:

Time Effectiveness:

WithCare Clinic is characterized by accessibility and convenience. Unlike emergency rooms, which often experience overcrowding and long wait times, our center is designed to provide timely care for a range of non-emergent conditions.

Patients can walk in without an appointment and receive treatment within a reasonable timeframe, a feature that is particularly important for those with busy schedules or minor medical concerns.

Cost Effectiveness:

Another significant advantage of WithCare Clinic is our cost-effectiveness. Emergency room visits are usually associated with substantial medical bills. Emergency room visits can cost upwards of over $1,000 a visit, with an average visit costing between $1,200 and $1,300.

In contrast, our clinic operates more efficiently as a primary care and urgent care clinic, resulting in lower costs for both patients and the healthcare system. This affordability makes our clinic an attractive option, especially for those who want to get economical health checkups.

Additionally, our accessibility, cost-effectiveness, and flexible hours make us a valuable resource for individuals seeking prompt and economical care.

Illnesses treated at WithCare Clinic:

We treat a variety of common and severe illnesses including the following:

Fever:

A fever is a common symptom that often indicates an underlying infection or illness. WithCare Clinic employs various methods to address fevers, starting with a thorough examination to identify the root cause.

Over-the-counter medications and/or prescription medications can be prescribed to alleviate fever. But our focus is to treat and eliminate the root cause of your fever.

Strain and Sprain:

Treatment of strains and sprains at WithCare Clinic involves a combination of RICE technique along with pain management.

Muscle strains and sprains are common injuries that usually result from overexertion or sudden movements. WithCare Clinic offers on-site durable medical equipment such as crutches, walking boots, knee braces, wrist splints and more to help immobilize an injury when indicated.

Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs):

UTIs are bacterial infections affecting the urinary system (kidneys, ureters, urinary bladder, urethra). WithCare Clinic performs in-house urine test to confirm a UTI diagnosis.

The primary treatment for bacterial UTI is a course of antibiotics prescribed by our medical provider. Additional recommendations like increased fluid intake, frequent urination, pain medication, and heat therapy may be prescribed in the treatment plan.

Cranberry supplements may also be recommended as a preventive measure. Current research shows that cranberry supplements help against recurrent UTIs by preventing bacteria from adhering to the urinary tract lining.

Body Aches:

At WithCare Clinic, the medical team will assess your symptoms, conduct a physical examination, and carry out appropriate treatment for your body aches. Rest, hydration, and pain relievers are prescribed along with on-site diagnostic testing.

Sore Throat:

Sore throats can be caused by viruses or bacteria. WithCare Clinic performs a rapid strep test to determine if the sore throat is bacterial in origin. Treatment options may include antibiotics for bacterial infections or supportive care for viral causes.

Nausea:

Nausea is associated with a range of conditions, ranging from stomach issues (stomach flu, GERD) and migraines to pregnancy-induced nausea. At WithCare Clinic, the medical provider will evaluate your symptoms and will prescribe you antiemetic medication accordingly.

Diarrhea:

The treatment of diarrhea at WithCare Clinic aims to relieve symptoms, prevent dehydration, and address the underlying cause. Diarrhea can be caused by infections, food intolerances, or other gastrointestinal issues.

We will conduct a thorough history of symptoms with you and will give you solutions according to your history. Dietary changes and/or medications may be prescribed to you to address the underlying cause of diarrhea.

Probiotics supplement may be recommended to help restore the balance of good bacteria in the gut. These beneficial bacteria aid in the recovery from diarrhea. According to research, probiotics can help resolve diarrhea about one day faster.

Headache:

Headaches can be due to various factors, such as tension, migraines, or sinus issues. WithCare Clinic will assess the nature of your headache and recommend suitable interventions.

Skin Rash:

Rashes can be caused by allergies, infections, irritants or underlying medical conditions. Our caring medical providers at WithCare Clinic will assess the appearance, texture, color, and other relevant characteristics of the affected areas and then conduct diagnostic tests (if indicated).
