Accidents happen—and when they do, North Ave Immediate Care in Addison, IL, is here to help.

From playground falls to kitchen mishaps, we treat non-life-threatening injuries quickly, so you can get back to your day with peace of mind.
Cuts and scrapes are common injuries that break the skin and may lead to bleeding, swelling, or infection if not treated properly. While minor wounds often heal with basic care, deeper lacerations or wounds with significant bleeding may require medical attention—including stitches, glue, or wound closures. Seeking care early ensures proper cleaning, closure, and protection against infection.
