For a sprain, break or other injury… Orthopaedic Associates of WI

Located in Pewaukee and Brookfield, the clinic is open seven days a week. OrthoASAP offers same-day evaluations and treatment for acute pain issues, including sports injuries, sprains, fractures and other orthopedic concerns. At OrthoASAP, the team of
orthopedic specialists provides on-site X-rays, splinting, bracing and access to orthopedic surgeons if needed.
Once the patient’s immediate needs are addressed, patients can discuss following up with an appointment at the Pain Management Center. Pain management specialists can deploy minimally invasive pain treatments, like epidural steroid injections, facet joint injections, radiofrequency ablation and more – all of which can ease pain flare-ups as well as chronic pain conditions. orthowisconsin.com
