Have an Injury this Season? WakeMed and Wake Orthopaedics are Here for You

 

Injured knee, sprained ankle or possible broken bone? Where is the best place to get the care you need? 

 

Sometimes it’s obvious when to head to the emergency room. At other times, it can be more difficult to tell. Together with WakeMed, Wake Orthopaedics brings dedicated orthopaedic urgent care to the community, serving children and adults, seven days a week (including after-hours and holidays) in multiple Wake County locations providing an affordable and efficient alternative to the ER for the most common orthopaedic injuries. We offer a seamless connection to WakeMed for any patient needing specialty care or further treatment.

 

The vast majority of orthopaedic injuries can be safely treated at an urgent care. As long as there aren't severe arm or leg deformities, excessing bleeding or life-threatening concerns, orthopaedic urgent care is the best option for treatment. The orthopaedic providers at Wake Orthopaedics are experienced in treating all parts of the body and sports-related injuries including:

 

  • Sprains & strains
  • Fractures
  • Ligament tears
  • Cast or splint issues
  • Cuts/lacerations
  • Painful, swollen joints
  • Pediatric injuries

 

If you think that your injury may be life-threatening ALWAYS choose the emergency department for care. The emergency department is a better choice for more severe orthopaedic injuries, and it offers better resources for treatment. For children with significant injuries, such as larger cuts, a broken bone through the skin, or angulation deformities of their arms and legs, the emergency room offers appropriate sedation and the most comfortable and stress-free treatment environment. Also, unlike urgent care locations, emergency departments are open 24/7 and feature the widest range of services and access to medical specialists.

NCFC Youth Announces WPSL Staff for Inaugural Season

NCFC Youth Expands NPL Footprint

By Georgia Kelley • March 13, 2025
NCFC Youth is excited to announce that the club has been granted a second team in the South Atlantic Premier Division of the National Premier Leagues (NPL), after our inaugural season in the league. This past season, the NPL operated in both the North (2012, 2011, 2008, 2007) and the South (2010 & 2009) age groups. Next year, NCFC Youth will have teams competing in the NPL in each age group in both the North and the South Regions (07/08, 09, 10, 11, 12, 13 birth years). Players that are currently on an NPL team will have the opportunity to tryout for the Region of their choice. The NPL team selection will be an invite only tryout process, and each player will have to be evaluated again for acceptance into the program. More details about the tryout process will follow in the coming weeks. The North teams will train at WRAL Soccer Park, Wake Stone or North Raleigh Christian Academy (neighboring WRAL Soccer Park). South teams will train at a combination of Pleasant Park, Mills Park, Thomas Brooks Park, and Wake Competition Center. “After a successful first season with the NPL, we’re thrilled to expand our league involvement to include two teams per age group across our boys and girls programming,” said NCFC Youth NPL Director Buddha Keyes. “Doubling the amount of teams that we will have compete in the league and extending the opportunity to face high level teams across our region will continue to develop our players and strengthen our programming.” More information will be coming soon. For questions, please email Buddha@NCFCYouth.com .
