Friendly & Reassuring Head Care

Rated Service

“My 2 year old took a tumble and had a huge goose egg on his head. It was my first time to deal with this and I came to express er crying more than my son was. I was greeted by a super friendly lady who was telling me it would be okay they’d take care of us. We quickly got in and checked and our staff was some of the friendliest and most welcoming people I’ve ever experienced. I highly recommend Express ER. Clean, great staff, no wait, in and out in no time. Not to mention I got a call the very next day to see how my son was doing and I also received a thank you card in the mail. Thank you so much for easing my mind and helping my son!”

A car crash, fall, physical assault, or sports injury can cause a head injury. Head injuries include any injury to the scalp, brain, or skull. Some of the serious and life-threatening injuries which can occur include concussion, skull fracture, and internal swelling. Because many head injuries involve internal damage, assessing their severity may require additional testing.

If you need an emergency room near you to treat head injuries in Waco, Express ER can help. We have short wait times, experienced medical providers, and the latest innovative medical technologies to treat a wide range of head injuries.

Why Should I Go to the Urgent Care Near Me for a Head Injury?

There can be many different causes of a head injury, but the injury could turn deadly fast if left untreated. There is also a risk of permanent brain damage associated with many head injuries. Our emergency room in Waco treats many head injuries every year. Head injuries are common but are considered very serious. If you have suffered a head injury in Waco, it is good to get it checked out by a medical professional. Our emergency room is open to the public for the treatment of head injuries in Waco.

Types of Head Injuries

The most common types of head injuries come from head trauma received during a car crash, a work accident, a physical fight or assault, or an accidental fall. Here is a list of serious head injuries which require medical attention:

1. Hematoma

A hematoma is a blood clot. If a hematoma forms on the brain, it can lead to swelling, loss of consciousness, and brain damage. It requires testing to diagnose a hematoma.

2. Hemorrhage

Hemorrhage is another word for internal bleeding. Brain hemorrhage leads to swelling, vomiting, and extreme headaches. A hemorrhage in the brain can lead to death or brain damage.

3. Concussion

One of the most common head injuries is a concussion. Trauma to the brain causes a concussion which impacts memory, orientation, and more. Most concussions are temporary, but repeated concussions or a severe concussion can cause long-lasting brain damage.

4. Skull Fracture

The skull bone is very dense and strong to protect the brain. When there is trauma to the head, part of the skull’s job is to absorb the impact to protect the sensitive brain tissue.

5. Diffuse Axonal Brain Injury

This kind of head injury does not cause any bleeding, but it damages the brain cells. It can be one of the most serious head injuries, leading to brain damage or death. It can result in swelling but is usually difficult to see visually without additional testing.
