Urgent Care Tick Bite Appointment and Prophylaxis

What is Tick Bite Prophylaxis?

The best approach to Lyme disease is immediate preventive treatment (prophylaxis) following a tick bite. At Rise Wellness, we prioritize urgent care by offering appointments within the first 72 hours of a tick bite for patients located in New York and Connecticut. This rapid response window is crucial, as addressing a tick bite promptly can significantly improve outcomes and reduce the risk of long-term complications.

Lyme disease symptoms can spread throughout the body, affecting vital organs and tissues including the heart and brain. While early intervention is essential to prevent disease progression, it's important to note that approximately 20% of patients may continue to experience symptoms even with prompt treatment. This could result from incomplete treatment, persistent infection, or the presence of co-infections commonly transmitted by ticks.

To ensure the best possible care, we provide comprehensive evaluation for co-infections and other factors that may influence recovery. Our approach combines prophylactic treatment and thorough testing as key steps in managing tick bites and minimizing the impact of tick-borne illnesses.
