OrthoNowSame-Day Care for Acute Orthopedic Injuries

When an injury happens, timing matters. But too often, patients are forced to choose between waiting days for an orthopedic appointment or spending hours in the Emergency Room for an injury that is not life-threatening. OrthoNow was created to fill that gap. OrthoNow is an orthopedic urgent care pathway designed to provide same-day access to physician-led care for acute musculoskeletal injuries, delivered within an orthopedic practice setting.

Why Choose Paradigm OrthoNow?

What Makes OrthoNow Different: MD-Led Care
Every OrthoNow visit is evaluated by a physician (MD). This structure offers a higher level of clinical oversight than many traditional urgent care settings.
Conditions Treated at OrthoNow
- Acute fractures
- Sprains and strains
- Sports injuries
- Sudden joint pain or swelling
- Work-related orthopedic injuries
A Faster Alternative to the Emergency Room
Many orthopedic injuries do not require emergency trauma care. OrthoNow offers a more efficient option for appropriate injuries, helping patients avoid long ER wait times while still receiving timely, physician-led evaluation.
Care That Stays Connected
OrthoNow is not a one-and-done visit. If follow-up or specialty orthopedic care is needed, it is scheduled before you leave. This keeps care coordinated and avoids delays or fragmented treatment.

What Makes OrthoNow Different

OrthoNow is designed to provide physician-led care from the start, with every visit evaluated by a medical doctor. This allows patients to receive timely orthopedic evaluation in a setting focused specifically on musculoskeletal injuries. For injuries that do not require emergency trauma care, OrthoNow offers a more efficient alternative to the Emergency Room, helping patients avoid long wait times while still getting the care they need. If follow-up treatment or specialty orthopedic care is needed, it is arranged before you leave so your care stays coordinated and there are no unnecessary delays.

Closing the Gap Between Injury and Care

Musculoskeletal injuries frequently fall into a clinical gray area. While not life-threatening, they are often too painful, limiting, or uncertain to safely wait several days for evaluation. When diagnosis is delayed, patients may experience avoidable discomfort, attempt improper self-treatment, or face longer recovery timelines.

OrthoNow was created to close this gap by offering a clear and timely pathway to physician evaluation, imaging, and treatment planning. Delivered within an orthopedic practice environment, OrthoNow helps ensure injuries involving bones, joints, and soft tissues are assessed promptly and managed with the right level of care from the start.

Conditions Treated at OrthoNow
OrthoNow is designed for acute orthopedic injuries, including:
- Acute fractures
- Sprains and strains
- Sports injuries
- Sudden joint pain or swelling
- Work-related orthopedic injuries
These issues often need prompt evaluation and imaging, but typically do not require emergency trauma services.
OrthoNow is NOT Intended for Emergencies or Complex Trauma
Patients should seek Emergency Department care for:
- Multiple traumatic injuries
- Open fractures
- Signs of nerve or blood vessel compromise
- Non-orthopedic complaints
- Chronic pain management
- Routine post-operative follow-ups
If a patient presents with a condition outside OrthoNow’s scope, our team will guide them to the appropriate level of care.
