Does Urgent Care Do X-Rays?

Does Urgent Care Do X-Rays?

Yes—most urgent care centers can perform X-rays for non-life-threatening injuries and conditions. They're commonly used to check for fractures, dislocations, pneumonia, and other urgent issues.

But before going to urgent care, get a free, instant symptom check with Ubie Health to find out if you truly need an X-ray—or if your issue can be treated another way. This can save you both time and money.

When Urgent Care Can Do X-Rays

Urgent care clinics are equipped to do X-rays for:

• Suspected broken bones or fractures

• Dislocated joints

• Severe sprains

• Chest pain that may indicate pneumonia (but not a heart attack)

• Back injuries without paralysis or loss of bladder/bowel control

When to Go to the Emergency Room Instead

Urgent care is NOT the right choice if you have:

• Severe chest pain or heart attack symptoms

• Stroke symptoms (slurred speech, facial drooping, weakness)

• Major trauma from a car accident or fall

• Suspected spinal cord injury

• Severe breathing difficulty

The ER has advanced imaging tools and specialists available 24/7.
