ExpressMED Urgent Care, a Manchester-based provider of urgent care and occupational healthcare services, has launched Direct Orthopedic Care, a specialized service available at its Manchester and Salem locations.

The initiative aims to offer convenient and collaborative services that focus on cost savings, reduced pain and suffering, improved patient outcomes and accelerated recovery, said Nick Vailas, CEO of ExpressMED.

The new service is a partnership of ExpressMED and physical therapy providers Apple Therapy and Sports and Rehab.

“By collaborating with experienced physical therapy providers like Apple Therapy and Sports and Rehab, we are ensuring that patients receive the best possible care and support throughout their recovery journey,” said Vailas.
