Chronic and Acute Pain Treatment in Skokie
Advanced, compassionate care for long-lasting relief from chronic and acute pain.
Understanding Chronic and Acute Pain
Pain can manifest in two primary forms: acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain typically occurs suddenly due to an injury or illness and subsides as the body heals. Chronic pain, however, persists for three months or longer, often continuing even after the initial injury or illness has resolved. Both types of pain can interfere with daily life, relationships, and overall well-being, making effective management crucial.
At Strive MD Wellness in Skokie, we offer innovative solutions for both chronic and acute pain. Through advanced therapies and personalized care, we are here to help you achieve lasting relief and a better quality of life.
What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain refers to ongoing discomfort that lasts beyond the usual healing period. It is often associated with conditions like nerve damage, arthritis, or previous injuries and can significantly impact physical and emotional health.
What is Acute Pain?
Acute pain is temporary and usually tied to a specific cause, such as an injury, surgery, or illness. While it generally resolves as the body heals, timely and effective treatment is essential to prevent it from transitioning into chronic pain.
