What is the Difference Between Acute and Chronic Pain?

Acute pain is a short-term pain that usually results from a specific injury or condition, like a sprained ankle or surgery, and typically resolves as the body heals. Chronic pain, on the other hand, persists for months or even years, often continuing beyond the expected period of healing.

Are You Dealing with Pain That Just Won’t Go Away?

Pain can be overwhelming, whether it’s the immediate, sharp sensation of acute pain or the ongoing burden of chronic pain. Acute pain might limit your mobility and impact your ability to work or relax, while chronic pain can create a lasting emotional toll, affecting your quality of life and outlook. Understanding the type of pain you’re experiencing is the first step to finding the right solution, and you don’t have to navigate this journey alone.

Acute and Chronic Pain Each Bring Their Own Set of Challenges

  • Physical Symptoms: Acute pain often includes sharp, intense sensations, while chronic pain may feel like a constant ache or throbbing.
  • Emotional Toll: Chronic pain can lead to frustration, anxiety, or even depression over time, while acute pain can create immediate distress and limit activity.
  • Fairness: Everyone deserves access to pain relief that restores comfort and quality of life, no matter how long the pain has persisted.
