FAQs:
1. How do you differentiate between acute and chronic pain, and how are they both treated with pain management?
Acute pain is a short-term pain that can be regarded as an ‘alarm’ that signals a problem. Usually, acute pain will be relieved naturally in the normal healing time period, and physiotherapists can suggest exercises or interventions to aid in pain management.
Chronic pain is pain that persists beyond the normal time that tissues should take to heal. Most soft tissue injuries are healed within weeks however some cases may take longer. There is no fixed amount of time to declare pain as chronic, however if the pain persists for 3-6 months, it is usually regarded as chronic.
2. Chronic pain is linked to conditions such as:
- Headaches
- Arthritis
- Cancer
- Nerve pain
- Back pain
- Fibromyalgia
Chronic pain produces stress that causes physical conditions such as tense muscles, limited ability to move around, lack of energy or changes in appetite. Chronic pain also impacts mental health, often causing aggression, depression and anxiety as well as fear of re-injury. That is why when treating chronic pain, it is important to understand the root of the condition, and personalise the pain management plan for the individual.
