• Acute injuries and pain is a specific pain that sets in quickly after you experience an accident or injury, usually stays only in the area of the body physically affected by the damage. An acute injury and pain occur within the first three days after the injury. When repair starts, you enter the subacute phase. 

• Subacute injuries and pain usually start four days or so after the injury and can last for up to three months where your body starts to repair itself. It is considered to be the intermediary phase between acute and chronic injury.

• Chronic injuries and pain is when you experience chronic pain that lasts for months or longer, which leaves you feeling uncomfortable. Chronic pain can happen after an injury, accident, or as a result of ongoing stress or pressure on a part of your body, often a joint or muscle.
