Choose Heritage Urgent & Primary Care for Your
Sports Medicine
in Wake Forest & Raleigh

Although most people think of sports medicine being necessary for athletes who perform in high-impact sports, such as football or hockey, it is important to be aware that even low-impact sports like golf, tennis, or running can still cause injuries. At Heritage Urgent and Primary Care, our highly qualified staff have in-depth knowledge on identifying and managing musculoskeletal injuries and can help you enhance your athletic performance and/or recover from a sport-related injury.

The most common types of sports injuries that we treat include:

  • Sprains, fractures, or dislocations
  • Chronic issues such as plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee, and tennis elbow
  • Head injuries
  • Ongoing issues such as neck pain or lower back pain

Of these, joint issues are the most common type of sports injury, primarily due to the fact that joints take the brunt of the force when stress is applied to the body. Although there are times when strains or sprains require surgery, often they can be treated using non-surgical therapeutic techniques.

Preventing Sports Related Injuries

In addition to helping address sports related issues, we are also committed to educating our patients on what steps they can take to prevent sports injuries from occurring in the first place. If you follow these protective measures, you will significantly diminish your risk of experiencing a sports-related injury:

  • Stretch: Stretching before you engage in physical activity loosens your muscles, which makes them less likely to rip and warms your muscles, which makes them more mobile.
  • Lift Weights: By regularly lifting weights, you will strengthen the muscles around your joints, which protects them from injury.
  • Do not ignore pain: If your body is telling you that it is injured, you need to listen to it. If you are experiencing pain while exercising, this is your bodies way of telling you to rest. If you are experiencing mild to medium strain, you may benefit from wearing a brace or engaging in additional stretching exercises.
  • Use appropriate equipment: This is of particular importance for athletes who engage in high contact sports, such as football or hockey. Make sure that your equipment is well-maintained and properly fitted.
  • Rest: It is important to take time to rest so your body has time to heal itself.

Cost of Care Transparency
at Heritage Urgent & Primary Care

A visit to the emergency room or hospital can cost a substantial amount of money and take much longer for you to receive the care you need. At Heritage Urgent & Primary Care, our board-certified providers can provide you with high-quality care in a timely and cost-effective manner. If you require health services and are concerned about the cost involved, please refer to the following overview of our clinic’s policies. If you have any additional questions concerning billing, insurance, and/or payment options, please contact our staff.

Understand Insurance and Medicare Medicaid

All visits are billed under Primary Care and Primary Care Copay. We accept Medicare and are In Network with most major insurance providers and are happy to provide you with a list of accepted providers to ensure you are covered. If co-payments are required by your insurance plan, this will need to be paid prior to your appointment before check in. If you are not able to pay your co-payment, it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment. It is also important to be aware that not all services are covered through insurance plans. If your insurance company determines that a service is not covered, it will be your responsibility to pay the remaining balance.

Self-pay Accounts

If you are not covered by insurance, or if your provider is out of network, you will be responsible for the entire charge of the appointment. If you are not able to pay the full balance of your bill, please contact our billing office at 866-557-2612. We are committed to ensuring that you receive the care you need and will do our best to help set up a payment plan to cover the costs of your care.
