Acute vs. Chronic Pain

The main difference between acute and chronic pain is the duration. An episode of acute pain can be sudden and abrupt. It can be a tightness in your neck or soreness in your upper back. In the case of sciatica, this pain could radiate from your lower back to your leg, creating a great deal of discomfort. In the case of chronic pain, you could experience similar or worse discomfort for weeks or even months. 

What Causes Acute Pain?

Severe lower back and neck pain is often caused by a sudden injury to the muscles or ligaments. Generally, these kinds of injuries occur when you try to lift something too heavy or when you use improper form while lifting. In some cases, bending, coughing, and even sneezing can also cause acute back pain.

How Can Chiropractic Care Help?

Treatments for acute pain focus on spinal manipulation and alignment to stimulate your body’s self-healing abilities. By realigning your spine, Dr. Chad can reduce pressure on your central nervous system. This is a great approach for treating headaches and acute pain.

Some of the more common techniques we use to address this type of pain include diversified manipulation and the Thompson method. Specifically, the Thompson method can be especially helpful when dealing with pain in the lower and mid-back. This technique relies on a specialized table and physics to gently ease pressure and provide relief. During your visit, Dr. Chad will evaluate your condition and determine if this or another option is the best technique for the job.
