Acute care is medical care for illnesses and injuries that arise suddenly. It addresses temporary medical problems, while chronic care focuses on preventive health and long-term disease management. TRiiBE Medical LLC offers diagnosis and treatment of all types of acute conditions for patients of every age.
If you’re sick or suffer an injury, you might need acute care to help you recover. The most common acute medical issues include:
Sometimes acute health problems are part of chronic conditions. For example, asthma is a chronic lung disease that causes asthma attacks, with acute episodes of wheezing, coughing, and breathing problems.
At TRiiBE Medical LLC, acute care starts with symptom review and a physical exam. Depending on your symptoms, you might need lab tests, X-rays, or other tests to find the cause of your illness or injury.
Your medical care provider explains your condition and then recommends a treatment option ideal for your needs. In most cases, you’ll start treatment right away. This may involve a prescription for medication, an injection, a wound dressing, breathing treatment, or some other kind of customized solution.
In some cases, an acute condition might require more in-depth care. For example, a severe bone fracture could require surgery. In this case, TRiiBE Medical LLC can refer you to a local trusted surgeon or other medical specialist and then co-manage your care as you recover.
TRiiBE Medical LLC sometimes recommends follow-up visits to make sure you’re healing properly. After your acute care visit, you might need to start a new medication or treatment plan, so a follow-up visit in a few days or a week is a chance to ensure your complete recovery.
