SAME-DAY ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT IN GENEVA & ELGIN
OrthoFirst is our walk-in clinic where you can be seen by one of our orthopedic specialists on the same day as your injury. This service is less expensive than an ER visit and gives you the chance to be seen by an orthopedic specialist instead of a general emergency room doctor.
We see patients same-day on a “first come first serve” basis in three of our convenient locations.
Walk-in customers after 5:00 p.m. or on Saturdays may be asked to pay a retainer fee if insurance benefits cannot be verified. This fee will be applied to co-pays and service charges after insurance is verified.

Sports Prevention Tips
With the sports season in full play, sports medicine surgeons at Fox Valley Orthopedics offer the following tips for sports injury prevention:
Incorporate technique, protection and warm-ups: Always implement proper injury prevention such as practicing proper technique, wearing well-fitting protective equipment, and performing gentle warm-ups and whole-body stretches before and after workouts. –Vishal Mehta, M.D.
Conditioning and training: Implement a training regimen that focuses on agility, balance, and power; include a warm up, stretches, strengthening exercises, plyometrics, agility drills, and a cool down. –Timothy Petsche, M.D.
Tackle prevention head on: Protective headgear is an important part of summer sports injury prevention. Most concussions resolve on their own without permanent damage, but a blow to the head can be potentially life threatening. And, over time, multiple concussions can cause cumulative, serious brain damage. –James Sostak, M.D.
10% Rule: Do not increase your training program or physical activity by more than 10% per week. –Michael Kogan, M.D.
Guard your shoulders: Young athletes who dislocate their shoulders are much more likely to have recurrent instability issues with that shoulder. Early prevention can keep this from occurring. –James Seeds, M.D.
Low weights, high reps: When trying to build muscle or rehab an injury, always perform exercises with smaller weights and more reps, rather than a heavy weight for one or two reps. Taking on heavier than appropriate weight without working up to it is a recipe for orthopedic injury, whether new or tearing the area that has already been repaired. –Joshua Alpert, M.D.
