Two new walk-in clinics have been added to the ensemble of medical facilities in Ringgold, providing more options for those seeking same-day assistance nearby.
The first of the two new establishments is the Center for Sports Medicine and Orthopaedics, which held its ribbon-cutting ceremony last week after opening its doors to the public in late May.
The Chattanooga-based practice already has nine locations in Chattanooga, Hixson, Cleveland and Sequatchie County, but this is its first office in Georgia.
Located on Battlefield Parkway, the center specializes in surgeries, non-invasive work and rehab for bones and muscles. Dr. Bradford Mitchell, a non-operative orthopedist, said the center is a great spot to heal sprains, strains, broken bones, concussions, joint pain and muscle aches.
Aside from its urgent care clinic, which allows for same-day appointments Monday through Friday, Mitchell said the center is made unique by its rotating group of fellowship-trained specialists from almost every subspecialty in orthopaedics, including those that deal with the upper extremities, spine, sports medicine and joint replacement.
