Whether you have a new injury or an existing musculoskeletal problem,
our sports medicine services can help. Student Health Service (SHS) can
assess, diagnose, and treat many sports related conditions from acute
injuries to chronic conditions.
Not only do many of our
providers treat injuries, but the team physician for ECU athletics is
also available to see any ECU student, not just varsity athletes. If
you have an injury and need evaluation, please call (252) 328-6841 or
visit Online Student Health to schedule an appointment.
If
your injury or condition requires an x-ray, we can perform it onsite.
Our x-ray department is for use by patients after seeing one of our
providers. The department provides radiological service and
recommendations for a variety of skeletal problems. SHS uses
digital radiology by use of a state of the art Phillips Optimus
Diagnostic machine. X-rays are preliminarily read in house by a SHS provider. Final readings are provided by Eastern Radiological
services.
Casting and splints: SHS does
not provide hard casting but can provide patients with splints, knee
stabilizers, ace bandages, and hard shoe stabilizers. Referrals are made
to Orthopedics East for all hard casting requirements.
Crutches:
Need a pair of crutches? Student Health has a free 2 week loan program
for students who need crutches. Call (252) 328-6841 for more
information.
Wheelchairs: Student Health does not rent or loan wheelchairs.
