Chronic diseases are those such as Back pain that are characterized by being long-term in nature. Acute diseases are short-lived and generally are cured or run their course within three months. Scoliosis, for example, is a long term medical condition and could therefore be considered chronic. Acute spinal meningitis, however, would be a short-lived infection of the lining of the spinal cord.
