Orthopedic Institute Now Walk-In Clinic (OI Now) offers same-day orthopedic care without the long wait times or high fees of the emergency room. With walk-in clinics in Tea, Brookings, and Yankton, South Dakota, OI Now helps you get the care you need—when you need it most.

 

Why Quick Orthopedic Care Matters

Prompt treatment helps prevent small injuries from turning into major setbacks. OI Now connects you directly with orthopedic providers, so you can start healing sooner—with less disruption to your daily life.

 

What Is an Orthopedic Walk-In Clinic?

OI Now Walk-In Clinics treat non-life-threatening bone, joint, and muscle injuries—no appointment required. Unlike general urgent care or emergency rooms, you will be seen by specialists trained in orthopedic care, offering faster, more focused treatment.

 

Why Choose an Orthopedic Walk-In Clinic Over Acute Care?

OI Now is not your average acute care or urgent care facility. We are a dedicated walk-in orthopedic clinic—which means our focus is entirely on treating bone, joint, and muscle injuries. From sprains and strains to joint swelling and possible fractures, our providers specialize in orthopedic care that goes beyond what you would typically find at a general urgent care center. You will still get many of the same benefits—same-day access, on-site digital X-rays, and efficient treatment plans—but with the added advantage of orthopedic expertise. If you are looking for focused, high-quality orthopedic urgent care, OI Now delivers expert care without the ER-level delays or costs.
