Muscle Pain: From Acute to Chronic

Acute instances of muscle pain are labeled by duration and intensity of pain.

Acute pain—short-lasting intense pain—usually lasts 3-6 months and stops hurting once healed, where chronic pain is reoccurring or long-lasting pain.

Acute muscle pain may develop into chronic pain if left untreated or mistreated. Often when we experience muscle pain, our bodies compensate for the injury to relieve pain by taking pressure or stress off the area of trauma.

This compensation may often result in secondary compensational injury from improper posturing, causing strain or muscle imbalance.

When a muscle injury is left untreated, or is treated incorrectly, it may heal improperly which increases the likelihood of chronic pain and future injury.
