Understanding the difference between an acute injury and a chronic/overuse injury can make a major difference to your recovery.
An acute injury usually happens suddenly — after a fall, twist, collision, awkward landing, or sudden movement. Pain, swelling, bruising and reduced movement may appear soon after the incident.
A chronic or overuse injury develops gradually when the same muscles, joints or tendons are repeatedly exposed to stress without enough recovery. What starts as “just a little pain” can eventually affect your movement, strength and performance.
But injuries are not always simply acute OR chronic. A long-standing problem can suddenly flare up, while an acute injury that is not properly managed may continue and become a persistent problem.
At CURIS Orthopaedics, the focus is not just on reducing pain. Our approach involves identifying the cause, accurate diagnosis, personalised treatment and rehabilitation designed to help you move better and return to the activities you love.
If you have persistent joint pain, sports injuries, muscle or tendon pain, stiffness, swelling, or difficulty with movement, don't ignore the warning signs.
Consult an experienced orthopaedic specialist and physiotherapy team for the right evaluation and treatment.
