Understanding the Difference Between Acute Care and Wellness Care in Sartell

Acute care is like taking your car in when the check engine light comes on and wellness care is like changing the oil in your car regularly. Acute care happens after you’ve sustained an incident, accident or injury. This tends to be more frequent care due to the fact that we are in the process of re-teaching your body a new normal. Wellness care takes place once you’ve reached a place in your care where your pain is manageable if at all, and you want to maintain your health.
