I have had a course of physiotherapy and I have a good home program. I still have a lot of pain in my back and my insurance company has told me that it would be helpful if I could get some pain management. Can you tell me what you do with this? Pain management is one of the newest buzz words in the rehab industry. industry. Pain management can encompass all kinds of things from postural education, education, (teaching you how to have good posture while you are doing your daily activities), to education for stress management, to how to manage your pain at home. Basically what pain management means is for the patient to have some control over their pain when it arises. You are in a situation where you have been in a car accident 2 years ago and still have some residual residual or chronic pain. You may have been told that you may have this pain for life, and at this stage you may be looking for a way to control this pain with an acupuncture-based program. You have already done some pain management with your rehab program because the exercises that you have been taught are a component of pain management. Our pain management program is acupuncture based. The objective of the program is to teach patients how to self-treat to control their pain. The low back is where patients most often report pain. But what actually actually perpetuaies this pain are muscle spasms, or trigger points, in areas other other than the low back. First we identify these trigger points. The common locations locations for. these trigger points are the ankle, the abdomen, the armpit as well as the jaw and sometimes the neck and the hand itself. These are the common locations of some trigger points. Treating these points control the low back pain. We select the three most involved trigger points. They are very tender on examination. When treated, the patient's back range-of- motion improves. In the first session of our pain management program we identify the three most involved trigger points. We then teach the patient how to self treat these trigger points. There are many treatment tools you can use. One that is common is a tennis ball. If you use a tennis ball and tap around the trigger point the vibration will help to release the muscle spasm and increase blood flow to the area. Another way to do this is to use an Acuhealth Tens which is an electrical hand held acupuncture unit. Each treatment session involves checking for range-of-motion and painful painful movements, treatment of the trigger points, teaching the patient proper posture posture and how to treat the trigger points themselves, then re-evaluation to see how treating the trigger points helps to resolve the patienvs pain. Often it is the way a patient sits at their desk and things they do day-to-day at work or at play that contribute to their continuing pain and these issues are also brought up and discussed. It is very much a home treatment plan because it is expected that the patients will self-treat on a daily basis, monitor their progress and report back to the therapist. The aim of the program is to get the patient independent. After the first six weeks of twice per week, the ; patients are seen for a further six • weeks once a week in order to make ■ sure that they can carry through with their program. If you still have chronic; pain after the car accident you may want to give this approach a try.

Power Skaters Earn 5-2 Victory On February 23, National Power Skating gave Durham T.V. a lesson in the art of power skating. A quick start left Durham T.V. behind on the ice and on the scoreboard as they fell behind 4-1 after two periods of play. The only goal coming from Greg Nemisz assisted by Jeremy Stacey and Gerren Borsi. As the teams changed ends for third period play, Durham T.V. stepped out of their slumber and prompted National to play an entirely different game. Durham T.V. poured on the offense and kept National penned up in their own end. Although all the action was down in the" Nationals end, Gerren was the only player to find the mark with assists coming by way of Tyrone Vanson and Nemisz. The final score, 5-2, told the story as Durham TV. falls to their first loss of the season.
