New Walk-In Location for Orthopedic Injuries Now Open in Allentown

The first LVHN Injury Center in Allentown opened in July at Lehigh Valley Hospital–Cedar Crest in the 1250 building. Part of Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute, LVHN Injury Center–1250 Cedar Crest specializes in treating non-life-threatening orthopedic injuries without an appointment for patients age 5 and older. LVHN Injury Center offers walk-in care Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-3 p.m. 

Our team treats a variety of orthopedic conditions as a result of an incident or accident that occurred within the last 48 hours, such as: 

• Athletic injuries
• Broken bones or fractures
• Joint separations
• Ligament and tendon injuries
• Muscle pulls and tears
• Slip and fall injuries
• Sprains and strains

At LVHN Injury Center–1250 Cedar Crest, you’ll be seen by nationally ranked orthopedic experts. Your clinician will review your medical history, symptoms and perform a physical examination. If they think you may have a fracture, you may be sent for an X-ray in the same building. 

Your clinician will create a treatment plan based on your diagnosis to help you get back to doing what you love. Some treatment options may include:

• Casting or splinting your injury to allow it to heal
• Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory (NSAIDs) medications for pain relief and to decrease swelling
• RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation) method to reduce swelling

If follow-up care is needed, your clinician will coordinate imaging, physical therapy or additional care from a specialist through Lehigh Valley Orthopedic Institute, part of Jefferson Health.
