Acute pain is short-term pain that heals over time. Some common causes of acute pain include:

It can also outlast the condition that caused it in the first place, resulting in pain for years, decades, or more if left untreated. Conditions that commonly cause chronic pain include:
Some of the treatments Elite Pain Management and Recovery Centers offers for pain include:
If a specific group of nerves causes your pain, your Elite Pain Management and Recovery Centers provider directly addresses it with a nerve block.
Injecting the targeted area with either pain-relieving or anti-inflammatory medication brings treatment right to the root cause of your pain, giving you effective relief. Nerve blocks can be temporary, designed to treat acute pain and then wear off, or long-lasting.
Elite Pain Management and Recovery Centers offers radiofrequency ablation to safely and therapeutically destroy select nerves that send pain signals to your brain. This procedure is minimally invasive and the results last six months to several years.
If there’s no specific group of nerves to target to alleviate your pain, Elite Pain Management and Recovery Centers can still bring you fast, effective relief with pain injections. These steroid-based injections treat pain and inflammation, helping alleviate your discomfort. The duration of the pain relief from these injections depends on your specific body. Some people get pain relief for a few weeks, while others don’t experience the return of their pain for years.
