Acute Pain and Trauma Treatment in Troy, IL

Physical therapy can play a critical role in removing acute pain that results from traumatic injuries or tissue damage. Acute pain is typically centralized in one area and may have swelling, warmth or redness in that injured area. It is almost always related to a specific injury or event, lasts less than three months and intensifies if the area is provoked in any way – pain that lasts longer and is not the result of injury would be known as chronic pain. The transition from acute to chronic pain is known as the subacute stage and is critical for chronic pain prevention with physical therapy.
