Car Accidents & Pain Management QUESTION: Telma, I was In a car accident two years ago. 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 II 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. Pain management management can encompass all kinds ol things from postural education, (leaching you how to have good posture while you are doing your dally activities), to education lor stress management, to how to manage your pain al home. Basically what pain management 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 you still have some residual or . chronic pain. You may have this pain lor life, and at this stage you may bo looking lor a way to control this pain with an acupuncture-based program. You have already done some pain management with your rohab program because the exorcises that you have been taught are a compononl of pain management. Our pain management management program Is acupuncture- based. The objective of lire program program is to loach patients how to self-treat to control their pain. The low back Is where patients most often report pain. Bui what actually perpetuates this pain are muscle spasms, or Irlggor points, In areas other than the low back. First wo Identify Identify thoso Irlggor points. The common locations lor those trigger trigger points are the ankle, the abdomen, tho armpit as well as the jaw and sometimes tho nock and the hand llsoll. Thoso aro tho common locations ol some trigger points. Treating thoso points control tho low back pain. 'Wo solocl the throe most Involved Irlggor points. They aro yvory tender on examination. i 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 lap around the trigger point the vibration will help lo 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 electrical hand held acupuncture unit. Each treatment session Involves checking for range-of- motlon and painful movements, treatment of the trigger points, teaching the patient proper posture posture and how to treat the trigger points themselves, then re-eval- uatlon to see how treating the trigger points helps to resolve the patient's 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 dally basis, monitor monitor their progress and report back to tho therapist. The aim of tho program Is to get the patient Independent. After tho first six weeks of twice per week, tho patients aro seen for a further six weeks onco a week In order lo make sure that thoy can carry through with tliolr program. If you still havo chronic pain alter the car accident you may want to give tills approach a try. Our pain management program program Is called tho GAME* plan lor Pain Managomont.

Seems odd saying that, considering considering I never really left. Much of my time over the last six months has been spent becoming familiar with the new systems we have in place for producing the paper each week. With those areas under control (?), it's time to roll up the sleeves and get back to doing some writing. We've made a number of changes here at The Statesman since my last appearance in this column, culminating culminating in the new format and size of the paper that you received today. Some of the changes that you will notice were made to keep up with the changing times, while others are in response to the readership survey that we conducted back in the spring. What the survey did was give us some insight as to what the readers wanted to see in our paper. Much of the information gathered was very useful, and a number of the ideas that were suggested led to the product that you sec today. One of the changes was to move the sports section off the front of Section B and utilize that space for more feature-type stories that will be of interest to a wider section of the readership. In terms of the sports section, we will being doing things a little differently. differently. A great deal of time was spent poring over what the readers of the sports section on a weekly basis wanted to see. There were some suggestions suggestions that came as a surprise, some that were predictable, and others others that we wouldn't even consider. But that is the beauty of getting opinions opinions from a cross-section of people. In the coming weeks, you will notice a subtle change September begins to take hold, it is like a whole new beginning. The summer ■ recreational activities have almost dried up, and a new season of winter sports is As already starting to take shape. We will continue to cover the Bowmanvillc Eagles, but in a different different way than in the past. I'm sure you will find it easier to identify with the hockey club and its players as they begin their third season in the Provincial Jr. A League. There will also be some information available on Durham Region's other junior hockey club, the Oshawa Generals. The defending Ontario Hockey League champions will have a regular regular spot in our paper, keeping everybody everybody informed of their season as they try to defend their title. We've made a number of changes at The Statesman since my last appearance There will also be the high school stories and issues facing young athletes, athletes, features on athletes who arc climbing the ladder of success, league standings, and a host of other articles that will be of interest. It's the complete package that isn't offered anywhere else. As for me, not much has changed since my last article. The past summer summer was spent competing in five triathlons, as I continue to punish my body for reasons I cannot explain. The last race of the season was held this past weekend in Guelph, with water temperatures no higher than the mid-60's. One of the athletes standing beside me just prior to the start of the swim blurted out "Holy (bleep) this is cold," to which I responded, "I don't even like a warm bath at this lime in the morning, morning, let alone trying to swim in this." As for the family, the missus missus is back to work after a lengthy maternity maternity leave, and my oldest son is fully grown and eagerly anticipating anticipating the start of junior kindergarten kindergarten in the next couple of weeks. If my youngest sheds a few pounds, lie could be up and crawling anytime. He is already at his draft weight for the NHL, but is a little short on the height department. department.
