An acute injury is a sudden onset condition, typically within the past few days, characterized by swelling, warmth, limited motion, and sharp or throbbing pain.
A chronic pain condition endures beyond the usual healing timeframe (often over 3 months) and may involve nervous-system sensitivity, muscle imbalances, and inability to fully recover without targeted intervention.
Together, acute injuries and chronic pains represent a spectrum of physical dysfunction – from fresh trauma that demands immediate care, to longer-standing conditions that require precise management and physiotherapy for chronic pain.
Sharp, throbbing or stabbing pain immediately after injury.
Swelling, warmth, redness, or limited movement in acute cases.
Persistent or recurring ache, stiffness, or weakness in chronic pain conditions.
Sensations like tingling, burning, or “giving way” in affected areas.
Trouble sleeping, reduced participation in work or sport, and fear of re-injury.
