Chronic and Acute Pain Treatment in St. Charles
Holistic, advanced care for managing pain and reclaiming your life.
Understanding Chronic and Acute Pain
Pain is typically categorized as either chronic or acute, each with unique characteristics. Acute pain arises suddenly, often due to an injury, surgery, or illness, and usually subsides as the body heals. Chronic pain, however, lingers for three months or more, sometimes persisting long after the original cause has resolved. Both types of pain can interfere with daily life, emotional well-being, and overall health, making effective treatment critical for restoring comfort and functionality.
At Strive MD Wellness in St. Charles, we offer Ketamine Therapy and Stellate Ganglion Block designed to relieve both chronic and acute pain. Our goal is to provide you with effective, personalized care that supports your journey to improved health.
What is Chronic Pain?
Chronic pain refers to persistent discomfort lasting well beyond the typical healing period. It’s often associated with conditions like arthritis, nerve damage, or previous injuries and can severely impact mobility, mental health, and quality of life. Addressing chronic pain requires targeted, expert care to provide lasting relief.
What is Acute Pain?
Acute pain is temporary and typically linked to a specific cause, such as an injury, surgery, or illness. While it generally resolves as the body heals, proper management is essential to ensure comfort and prevent the pain from developing into a chronic condition.
