Arthritis is a chronic joint condition that affects millions of people every day. Often debilitating in nature, arthritis pain commonly disrupts sleep patterns, decreases mobility, and causes significant disturbances to daily activities. At times, patients may go days or weeks without an arthritis flare-up, but there is no way of knowing just when one may happen. If you’re suffering from arthritis, you understand that your flare-ups have no concern for whether or not your primary care physician is available for an appointment. Our board-certified physicians and on-site laboratory are equipped to help diagnose and treat a number of routine and urgent health conditions, including chronic or severe arthritic pain.
At Argyle Urgent Care we provide in-house laboratory testing. Blood, or urine screening tests, are an important part of patient care and play a large role in the proper diagnosis of a number of health conditions. Our skilled, board-certified medical team and our state-of-the-art onsite laboratory set our diagnostic skills apart from other urgent care facilities and assist us in providing comprehensive treatment.
