What is Injury?
Injuries can range from minor sprains and bruises to more significant damage like fractures or deep cuts. Many minor injuries can be managed at home, but medical advice helps ensure proper healing and rules out complications. In New Zealand, injuries may be eligible for ACC cover, which our doctors can help initiate.


What Are the Symptoms of a Injury?
Symptoms vary but often include:
Limited movement or stiffness
Pain that worsens with movement or pressure
Pain, swelling, or bruising
Redness or warmth around the area
Tenderness at the site of injury
Visible cuts, abrasions, or swelling
