I am now experiencing neck pain, which my doctor has referred to as a "whiplash" injury. What is this, and how can I get better? Frequently during a car collision when one is relaxed and subsequently rear-ended, one's head is thrown backwards (hyperextension) and then forwards again (hyperflexion). This results in a soft tissue injury around the bony vertebral column of the neck (cervical spine), which is referred to as a "whiplash". Soft tissue refers to all tissue such as muscles and ligaments, excluding bone. These muscles and ligaments become over stretched and some fibers are possibly torn. This may result in internal bleeding known as hemorrhages, which in turn causes muscle spasm. Depending on the severity of your whiplash injury, a soft collar may have been prescribed by the emergency department of your family doctor after bony and neurological stability has been determined. This helps support the injured tissues, but should not be worn for any prolonged period. It may produce added stiffness and tissue shortening. Seeking the treatment of a physiotherapist will help expedite your recovery. He or she will carefully gauge your progress ensuring that your neck does not receive further stress, which would interrupt the healing process. Of added importance is the need to Maintain neck mobility, range of motion, strength and function during the recovery phase. Your physiotherapist will utilize various modalities, manual therapies and therapeutic exercise, progressing you towards full recovery. Q: A: Email: barbara.byckowski@rbc.com Q: A: Can you tell me why I should consider opening my Tax-Free Savings Account with you at RBC Dominion Securities rather than a savings-style TFSA? The full-service investment TFSA at RBC DS offers greater investment options and the potential for higher returns. If you are comfortable owning individual stocks or individual bonds, it may be the right vehicle for you. There is a 1% annual investment management fee but that means no commissions to trade (maximum 8 per year) and a professional, tailored investment strategy which is in accordance with your overall investment objectives. The Tax Free Savings account can boost tax-sheltered retirement savings when you have maximized on your rsp's. If you are not sure if it is worthwhile to invest in the TFSA, give me a call and I would be happy to discuss your situation.

Cookies, cakes, pies, eggnog are till carbohydrates and fat although there is so much more of them! It is important to remember to eat a balanced diet consisting of protein, fruit, vegetables and carbohydrates and not eat all those Christmas goodies in place of health foods. Monitoring your blood glucose readings regularly (first think in the morning, just before a meal ad 1-2 hours after eating) will help to understand how your food affects your blood sugar. After fat, alcohol has the highest calorie content per gram consumed. A few glasses of wine, beer or other alcoholic drink, especially after the evening meal may cause a delayed hypoglycemia (dangerously low blood sugar) the following morning and as late as 24 hours following those drinks! This is of particular importance t people with Type 1 diabetes but can also occur with people who have Type 2 diabetes, especially the elderly and those who take certain types of medications to control their blood sugar. Remember to get adequate rest during this holiday season and avoid becoming run-down which can increase your susceptibility to illness. Illness as well as stress can both cause blood sugar levels to increase. In addition, certain cold and flu medications can also increase blood sugar levels. For more information about diet and medications, consult a dietician, pharmacist or certified diabetes educator at your local Diabetes Education Centre. Take care of yourself and have a wonderful Holiday!
