Acute and Chronic Diseases
Acute conditions or illnesses generally develop abruptly with sudden onset or gradually develop over a span of several days, progressing in severity. These conditions usually endure for a relatively short period, typically spanning a few days or weeks, before either resolving completely or transitioning into a chronic state if left untreated or unmanaged.
Examples of Acute conditions that we treat include:
- Asthma – Flu
- Bronchitis – Tonsillitis
- Common cold – Gastroenteritis (stomach flu)
Chronic conditions or diseases develop gradually, evolving over an extended period that can span from months to years. These conditions often demonstrate a progressive nature, steadily worsening over time if not effectively managed or treated. They are characterized by long-term persistence, persisting beyond the acute phase and potentially impacting an individual’s health and well-being for an extended duration.
Examples of Chronic conditions that we treat include:
- Arthritis – Gastritis
- Spondylosis – Hypothyroidism
- Nephropathy – Endometriosis
