Urgent Care for Acute Joint Pain

Acute joint pain can significantly impact your ability to move, work, and enjoy daily life. It may result from an injury, inflammation, or underlying medical condition that requires immediate attention. At London Harley Street Clinics, we specialize in diagnosing and treating acute joint pain, helping you regain mobility and comfort as quickly as possible.

When to Seek Urgent Care for Joint Pain

Joint pain can be a sign of serious injury or illness, especially if it occurs suddenly or is accompanied by other symptoms. Seek urgent care if you experience:

  • Sudden, severe joint pain.
  • Swelling, redness, or warmth around the joint.
  • Limited ability to move the affected joint.
  • Pain after a fall, accident, or other trauma.
  • Fever or chills, which could indicate an infection.
  • Joint pain that worsens or does not improve with rest or over-the-counter medications.

Ignoring acute joint pain may lead to further complications, such as long-term joint damage or infection spread.
