What is an acute injury?

Acute injuries are sudden injuries that have occurred recently, usually within one to two weeks. Our Chiang Mai acute injuries clinic, sees many acute injury patients due to accidents, such as injuries from sports or exercise, twisted ankles, muscle sprains and strains, torn tendons, etc. Motorcycles are ubiquitous in Chiang Mai and frequently cause acute injuries such as fractures and broken bones.

Most injuries occur from overuse or direct impact from an accident that is beyond what the body can generally tolerate. The most common sports injuries include concussions, muscle tears, muscle sprains, and strains.

We strongly promote staying active as we age, but unfortunately, the body is more prone to injury as we age. Even with acute injuries treatment, it takes longer to recover.

Our acute injuries clinic in Chiang Mai will contact and coordinate with any specialists required and refer those requiring special services. We have specialists who enter our Chiang Mai acute injuries clinic and treat broken bones, knee injuries, and all acute injuries.

Boston Health has guidelines for treating injuries that are appropriate for the stage of injury. This will help reduce pain, increase quality of life, and promote joint and muscle recovery. This allows clients to return to their daily lives.

You will initially be assessed and treated by our medical doctor. For example, if the client has an abrasion and pain, the doctor will treat the wound by cleaning the wound and giving painkillers and other medicines according to symptoms.

If the patient has fractures or a dislocated shoulder, this may require surgery. The clinic will coordinate and refer the client for the most appropriate treatment. We have an orthopedic surgeon on staff at our acute injuries clinic in Chiang Mai.

In cases of clients having chronic symptoms from playing sports, the doctor will perform a physical assessment first. You may be referred to a physical therapist who will help with physical therapy methods, techniques, and tools.

Treatment for sports injury is divided into several stages, such as acute treatment. If the symptoms are not severe, the cost of care is not expensive. This will mainly be the cost of treating the wound and reducing pain with medicine.

If the symptoms are severe or chronic, the price may be higher. This depends on medical acute injury treatments such as surgery or physical therapy.

First aid is the most immediate treatment required for acute injury. After first aid, an assessment should be performed to determine how severe the injury is. It is difficult for the patient to assess just how severe the injury is. Knee injuries, such as a torn ACL, are notorious for not appearing serious but later turning into significant problems.
