Summertime means more trips to the park, and for kids, playgrounds are full of possibilities—slides, swings, monkey bars, and wide-open space to run. But with all that activity comes the occasional misstep, fall, or bump to the head. These minor injuries can turn serious if not addressed properly.
That’s why Nadora Urgent Care in Greeley is a go-to stop for parents needing quick, expert care without the ER wait.
Common Playground Injuries We See
While most kids bounce back fast, some situations call for a professional evaluation. We often treat:
Sprains and rolled ankles from landing wrong
Elbow and wrist injuries from falls off climbing structures
Minor head injuries from slips or collisions
Cuts, scrapes, and splinters that need proper cleaning
Insect bites or allergic reactions from outdoor play
Even if an injury looks minor, children may not fully express how much pain they’re in—or how badly they’re hurt.
