ACUTE PAIN
Acute pain is a sudden onset of pain and is typically caused by an injury or illness. It is a protective mechanism that signals the body to take action to prevent further harm. Acute pain usually resolves within a few days or weeks and can often be managed with avoiding movements that cause pain. Most medication aim to decrease inflammation, while in fact inflammation is WANTED and even NEEDED to heal up properly- this initiates increased blood flow, nutrients, growth factors, and many others healing factors to the area.
CHRONIC PAIN
On the other hand, chronic pain is defined as pain that lasts for more than three months or longer than the expected healing time. It is often caused by an ongoing medical condition, mal adaptive changes in the brain, or damage to the nerves. Chronic pain can be more difficult to manage and may require a multidisciplinary approach that involves medications, movement therapy, neurofeedback, neuromodulation, and other interventions. Treatment for chronic pain focuses on managing symptoms, improving function, and enhancing quality of life. It is important to seek medical attention for both acute and chronic pain to properly diagnose and treat the underlying condition.
