Car accidents happen when you least expect them — even a minor collision can leave you feeling sore, stiff, or unsure if you’re really okay. Whether you’re dealing with neck pain, back strain, or simply want a medical evaluation for legal purposes, McAllen Family Urgent Care provides fast, professional care after a motor vehicle accident. No appointment needed, and we’re open daily.
1. Why You Should Seek Medical Care After an Accident
Not all injuries show up right away. Symptoms like whiplash, muscle stiffness, and headaches can take hours or days to appear. Getting checked by a provider helps catch hidden injuries and documents your condition, which is essential if you're working with an attorney or filing a claim.
2. Common MVA Injuries We Treat
Our clinic can evaluate and treat:
Neck and back pain
Whiplash
Minor head injuries
Joint and muscle pain
Sprains and strains
Soft tissue damage
We also offer digital X-rays to check for fractures or more serious conditions.
3. Walk-In Care Without the Emergency Room Wait
The ER can take hours and cost thousands. Our providers offer same-day evaluations with shorter wait times and lower costs — all in a calm, professional setting. We’ll make sure you’re stable, refer you to a specialist if needed, and provide documentation for legal or insurance use.
4. We Work With Attorneys and Provide Documentation
If you're working with a personal injury attorney, we’ll help ensure your visit is properly documented. We can provide medical records, follow-up notes, and referrals to specialists if needed for your case.
If you’ve been in a car accident, don’t wait. Walk in to McAllen Family Urgent Care today or call us at (956) 686-4040 to get checked and start your recovery.
