Where can I get a walk-in x-ray in Morganton?

Edge Diagnostics lists walk-in x-rays at its Morganton office during normal business hours. It is a diagnostic imaging provider, not a general primary-care clinic.

When should I use urgent care instead of an emergency department?

Urgent care is generally for problems needing prompt attention but not life-saving treatment. Call 911 or go to an emergency department for severe breathing trouble, chest pain, stroke symptoms, major bleeding, or other life-threatening symptoms.
