HaysMed Athletic Sports Injury Walk-In Clinic

The HaysMed Athletic Sports Injury Walk-In Clinic is available to athletes who need immediate care for injuries sustained during the week. Located at the Hays Orthopedic Clinic, 2500 Canterbury Drive, the clinic will operate every Monday from 8:00 AM to 9:00 AM, offering availability for same-day or next-day appointments.

The clinic is designed to provide quick, efficient care for acute sports injuries, including concussions. Our team, led by Dr. Wally Walstrom, a board-certified sports medicine physician and Medical Director of the clinic, is dedicated to ensuring that athletes receive timely, expert attention. Dr. Walstrom, who is full-time at the Hays Orthopedic Clinic, has increased his availability to accommodate injured athletes.

“At the clinic, any injury that concerns a parent, coach, or athlete can be evaluated promptly,” says Dr. Walstrom. The Athletic Sports Injury Walk-In Clinic offers an alternative to visiting the emergency department or waiting for a scheduled appointment, allowing athletes to be seen and treated quickly but also working in new injuries daily.

Our clinic is equipped with digital X-ray services, and if necessary, we can initiate the process for an MRI. This streamlined approach ensures that athletes receive a comprehensive evaluation and leave with a clear recovery plan, including any needed equipment like crutches or knee braces.

For those requiring rehabilitation, sports-specific programs are available at the Outpatient Rehab Center, conveniently located just steps away from the Hays Orthopedic Clinic. Our goal is to help athletes in our community start their recovery process sooner, enabling a safer and quicker return to their sport.

HaysMed employs another 5-10 sports trainers who assist in providing on-site coverage for Fort Hays State University athletics, including football and men’s and women’s basketball, as well as local area schools including Hays High School, Ellis, Victoria, TMP, LaCrosse and the Hays Larks.

“The Athletic Sports Injury Walk-In Clinic plays a crucial role in taking care of our community’s young athletes,” Dr. Walstrom adds. “By starting their recovery process faster, we help them safely return to their sport sooner.”
