Visit Us to Get Fast, Accurate Diagnostics
X-rays and EKGs are essential diagnostic tools used to quickly evaluate internal conditions. X-rays use low-dose radiation to capture detailed images of bones, joints, and some soft tissues, helping identify fractures, infections, and abnormalities. EKGs (electrocardiograms) measure the heart’s electrical activity, detecting irregular heartbeats, heart attacks, and other cardiac issues. Both tests are fast, non-invasive, and critical in diagnosing various health concerns. At Surfside Urgent Care of Laguna Beach, we offer both services on-site to ensure fast, accurate results.
You May Need X-Rays & EKGs If:
- You have chest pain or shortness of breath
- You feel a rapid, slow, or irregular heartbeat
- You experience dizziness, fainting, or weakness
- You suffer a fall, sprain, or potential fracture
- You have ongoing joint or back pain
- You suspect a lung infection or pneumonia
- You feel pain or stiffness in a specific area
- You need a heart check before surgery or treatment
X-Rays vs. EKGs
X-Rays
X-rays use a small dose of radiation to create pictures of the inside of your body. They are commonly used to evaluate bones for fractures or dislocations, identify joint problems, and detect issues like pneumonia or fluid in the lungs. At Surfside Urgent Care of Laguna Beach, X-rays are performed on-site, allowing us to quickly diagnose injuries and conditions affecting your bones, chest, and abdomen, so you don’t have to wait or visit a separate facility.
EKGs
EKGs, or electrocardiograms, are tests that record the electrical activity of your heart. They are used to detect heart rhythm abnormalities, such as arrhythmias, signs of a previous or current heart attack, and other cardiac conditions. EKGs are painless, non-invasive, and only take minutes to perform. If you’re experiencing chest pain, dizziness, palpitations, or other heart-related symptoms, an EKG can provide immediate insight into your heart health.
X-Rays & EKGs Can Help Identify:
- A broken bone or joint dislocation
- Signs of pneumonia or lung infection
- Evidence of arthritis or joint damage
- Abnormal heart rhythms (arrhythmias)
- Signs of a current or past heart attack
- Chest congestion or fluid in the lungs
- Bone infections or unusual growths
- Changes in heart function before surgery
- And much more…
How We Perform X-Rays & EKGs
At Surfside Urgent Care of Laguna Beach, we offer on-site X-rays and EKGs to streamline your care and reduce wait times. Our team uses state-of-the-art equipment to ensure accurate, timely results, so you can get answers and start treatment without delay. The results are typically reviewed during your visit to guide the next steps in your care.
X-rays
During an X-ray, you’ll be asked to position the part of your body being examined, such as your chest, arm, or leg, in front of a specialized imaging machine. A brief, low-dose burst of radiation is used to create a detailed image of your bones and tissues. Our provider will review the images immediately to diagnose injuries like fractures, infections, or joint issues.
EKGs
An EKG is performed while you lie down comfortably. Our medical team will place small electrode patches on your chest, arms, and legs. These electrodes are connected to an EKG machine, which measures the electrical signals that control your heartbeat. Once completed, the results are analyzed on-site to check for irregular heart rhythms or cardiac concerns.
