Has a weekend trip to the mountains, a bike ride in the river valley, a sporting event, or perhaps even a bad fall left you injured? Injuries are never convenient and almost always unexpected. They are often associated with pain, loss of motion, and associated with high levels of stress and anxiety at the thought of a possible time loss injury. Knowing where to go and who to see can often be a complicated process. Extended wait times in a walk-in clinic, sitting long hours in an emergency department, or waiting days for an appointment with your family physician are not your only options.

Let Acumen provide you with an appointment, potentially only hours after an injury. This appointment includes a diagnosis, plan of care, splinting, taping and even options for private imaging and/or private consultation with our Orthopedic Surgeon if needed. Crutches, braces and slings are available for purchase and will be fit and sized by one of our athletic therapists.

Acumen’s Minor Injury Clinic is intended for non-emergency joint, muscle, ligamentous, and potential bone injury evaluation completed by one of our certified athletic therapists. 

In an effort to provide timely diagnosis of a new injury, we offer 30-minute consultations available 5 days a week, without the need of a referral, in our Edmonton and Calgary Acumen locations.Athletic Therapy
