What Is the Difference Between Acute and Chronic Pain?

At Brainard Chiropractic in Fremont, our chiropractor treats all types of acute and chronic pain. Being in pain is no fun and can significantly reduce your quality of life. Different levels of pain are associated with various stages of the healing process. Your chiropractor will assess your pain and determine the necessary type of chiropractic adjustment for proper healing and strengthening. Throughout your treatment plan, our chiropractor will make minor adjustments as your body continues to heal.

Acute Pain

Acute pain is sharp and intense. It is the type of pain you experience immediately after an injury. It is usually localized to a specific area. Acute pain lasts for a short period of time and gradually subsides as the freshness of the injury diminishes. Acute pain is often linked to sudden illnesses, broken bones, migraines, or appendicitis. Chiropractic adjustments are employed to restore balance in the affected area, although the pain may persist until healing begins.

Chronic Pain

Chronic pain can be intense and radiating, or it can be dull and persistent. Unlike acute pain, which lasts for a short duration at the onset of an injury or illness, chronic pain persists for months or even years. It might fluctuate or remain constant and unrelenting. Your chiropractor approaches chronic pain differently from acute pain. Treatment plans may extend over longer periods as the body gradually returns to its original alignment.

Chiropractic Care for All Types of Pain

Chiropractic care offers numerous treatment options for both acute and chronic pain. Spinal decompression, combined with chiropractic adjustments, helps alleviate pain from disc herniation and chronic back pain resulting from auto accident injuries. Different types of adjustments are tailored to various pain levels, ranging from acute to chronic.
