According to Dr. Felberbaum, head, back and neck injuries should be taken seriously and so should fractures. But some minor injuries can be treated at home. A good rule of thumb is to evaluate whether you have mobility or can put weight on the injury. If so, you can try the soft-tissue treatment known as RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) before deciding to see your doctor for a consultation.
As most people already know, a trip to the ER is a costly proposition, averaging at around $2,168, according to Lindsay Abram of TheAltantic.com. Of course, getting medical treatment doesn’t have to be this expensive. A trusted urgent care in Anchorage, AK like Primary Care Associates can treat smaller emergencies for a fraction of the cost.
