Acute Injuries

Acute injuries are sudden injuries that occur due to an specific incident or accident, such as a fall, collision, or twist. Common examples include sprains, fractures, and cuts. These injuries usually result in immediate pain, swelling, or bruising, often requiring prompt medical attention. Unlike chronic injuries, which develop slowly over time due to repetitive stress, acute injuries have a clear onset and are typically linked to a single event. Treating them often involves rest, ice, compression, and elevation (RICE), and in some cases, medical intervention may be necessary.
