In general thoughts have power over the way we feel and act.

Many of you have heard about CBT (Cognitive Behaviour Therapy), the key concept is to catch the thought and challenge the dysfunctional thinking style

However, many struggle with identifying what are dysfunctional thinking styles are. An example of one is if you are constantly talking BAD about yourself, examples of this is “I am not good enough” “No one will love me” this thinking style would be labeling.  By labeling yourself you are sub-consciously creating a belief about yourself, in return felling crappy about yourself.

The good news is that by challenging these negative thoughts you are able to RETRAIN yourself to change the way you see yourself.  Below are some quick and easy steps to identify your negative thought and to start shifting your perception of yourself.

 

1. AWARNESS: I am having a negative thought about myself
2. IDENTIFY: What is the negative thought that I am having about yourself, you can also get CURIOUS here and EXPLORE when this thought first began. This is a great way to also address the ROOT CAUSE of the problem in return this will result in a greater healing process.
3. CHALLENGE THE THOUGHT: What evident do you have that this thought is true or false. In most cases the thought is FALSE, if your thought is not false you can change the way you say this thought with kindness and compassion to yourself. SELF LOVE IS EVERYTHING.
4. RE-EVALUATE: In this LAST PROCESS look over what you wrote and create a NEW THOUGHT that would be more accurate and is coming from KINDNESS. Let the SHIFT BEGIN.

After some time and effort, you will start seeing a healthy outlook, you will start SHIFTING away from negative dysfunctional thinking styles to COMPASSION AND NEW BELIEFS.

Remember nothing can be done without EFFORT, this new skill will require time and patience.  You can also consult with a registered psychotherapist or mental health care professional, taking the first step to get help can be challenging but once you are getting the help there is only benefits. Take care of your mental health!

What to expect physically after a car accident:

Herniated Discs

Everyone knows that neck and back strains are common in car accidents, generally referred to as “whiplash.” But these injuries can be much more serious than just a mild strain. Sometimes the force of a collision causes the tissue between the vertebrae of the spine to balloon out or rupture. This is called a “herniated disc.” A herniated disc can put pressure on and inflame nerves coming out of the spine. This causes very severe pain, loss of feeling, and even loss of control of your muscles, typically in your arms or legs.

These symptoms might occur right away, but also can develop in the weeks and months following an auto accident. These injuries require surgery at times, and can cause long-term disability.

Traumatic Brain Injuries

When your head whips back and forth in an auto accident, or if your head strikes something inside your car, your brain can be impacted. This impact to the brain, called a “traumatic brain injury” (TBI) can cause long-term damage to brain function. These injuries are insidious, as they are not always obvious right away. Months later, the injured person or his family may notice that he or she is becoming forgetful, or is undergoing a personality change, often becoming less patient or even extremely irritated or angry, when that was not their normal state previously.

Anyone who has suffered a concussion, or been knocked unconscious, or has had headaches after a motor vehicle collision should watch carefully for the signs of TBI, and seek a neurological consultation if TBI is suspected.

Knee Injuries

Often during a motor vehicle collision, a driver or passenger is thrown forward and will strike their knee on the dashboard. This can result in direct trauma to the knee which can result in many different types of injuries, such as a shattered patella (knee cap.)

The cartilage of the knee can also be damaged, resulting in a torn meniscus, or patellar chrondromalcia. Sometimes, similar injuries will occur when a driver jams on the brakes so hard to avoid a collision that his knee is forcefully compressed. These are painful conditions, often requiring surgery. And again, the severity of the injury is not always obvious right away, as it might take some time for more subtle injuries to develop enough inflammation that they become obvious.

Shoulder Injuries

Because your shoulder belt only wraps over one shoulder, much of the force from an auto accident can be focused on that one shoulder when you are thrown forward by the impact of a motor vehicle collision. This can also impart a twisting motion to your body. These forces can cause many different injuries to the shoulder, ranging from deep bruising, to shoulder strains, or even severe tears of the shoulder ligaments that will require surgery to repair.

Shoulder injuries often worsen over time and become chronic, so don’t ignore any shoulder symptoms after a motor vehicle collision. Get them checked out by your physician!

Psychological Injuries

When someone undergoes a traumatic event, it is not just our bodies that can be damaged. Our psychological and emotional state can also be seriously affected. People who have been in serious automobile accidents can develop a “phobia,” which means the person has developed an unusual fear of driving or even being in a car.

These can become so severe that a person with a car phobia can become completely housebound, unable to use a vehicle for any purpose. When phobias develop, it is very important that psychological care be provided immediately. Psychologists have good techniques to help patients overcome phobias. But phobias that are not treated often become longstanding and very difficult to treat. If someone is afraid of driving or being in a car after a motor vehicle collision, make sure they seek psychological care immediately.

As you see, many of these injuries are very serious, but are not always obvious immediately after a car accident, so be on the lookout for them. And most of them are likely to get worse over time if not recognized or treated. Always have any symptoms carefully checked out and documented by a physician.

How to treat physical injuries after the accident:

It is crucial if you experienced any injuries noted above your fist contact should be your family doctor or emergency room.

Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that has to do with diagnosis and treatment of issues concerning the neuro-musculoskeletal systems in the body. Chiropractors are licence health professionals that are trained to diagnose and treat neuro-musculoskeletal issues such as back pain, headaches, neck pain, disc herniation, carpal tunnel syndrome, plantar fasciosis, and many more. Chiropractors are unique in that they often take a conservative and holistic approach in their patient’s health. This means that often times Chiropractors will get to the root cause of the problem, and try to address the issue, instead of just treating the symptoms.

Typically, chiropractors will utilize different types of treatment modalities depending on the diagnosis. A chiropractor might use techniques such as spinal manipulation/ mobilization, soft tissues therapy, electrical stimulation, rehabilitation exercises, and acupuncture to treat your injuries.

What to expect

On your first visit to a chiropractor, you would generally want to arrive 5-10 minutes earlier to fill out some paperwork. Once the paperwork has been completed, your chiropractor will perform an intake assessment. The intake assessment will consist of a thorough history of your chief complain, a health history, and a detailed physical examination. During the history, your chiropractor might ask you questions such as where is the pain, characteristics of the pain, how long has the issue been going on for, and gather any other pertinent information. It is also a very good idea to note down aggravating factors and relieving factors to your injury prior to visiting in order to assist the chiropractor in figuring out the issue. After gathering information for your chief complain, your chiropractor during the first visit will also ask you question regarding your health history in order to help with their diagnosis. Chiropractors are trained to screen out health issues that might mimic musculoskeletal issues, and will refer you back to your family physician if warranted.

After the history, the chiropractor will perform a physical assessment consisted of observation, range of motion testing, muscle testing, and other orthopaedic testing to rule in or rule out their suspicion. Once the physical examination is completed, your chiropractor will have a diagnosis for you. At that point, your chiropractor will then come up with a plan of management for your injury.

After the history, physical examination, and explaining the plan of management to you; depending on your diagnosis, your chiropractor might render some treatment. This might be some form of pain control therapy (ie. Electrical modalities), soft tissue therapy, mobilization/ manipulation, and/ or rehabilitation exercises.

Generally, your initial appointment will take somewhere between 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the complain, and what the chiropractor find during their assessment.

Subsequent visits will usually be 30 minutes in duration. Your chiropractor will follow-up with you regarding your progress, and continue with their plan of management.

Once your plan of management is completed, or your injury has completely resolved, your chiropractor might discharge you, or they might recommend a maintenance care program depending on your diagnosis. Generally, longer standing or chronic conditions might require a maintenance care program.

What will my chiropractor do

Often times, patient wonder what chiropractic is, and how it helps them with their condition. Chiropractic derived from Latin, which loosely translate to “do by hand”. Your chiropractor might perform one or more of the following technique for your condition. Technique such as:

• Soft tissue therapy- which is a form of therapy that deal specifically with certain muscle or muscle group. This is different from massage therapy, in that soft tissue therapy typically involved shortening of the muscle, application of a compressive force, and lengthening of the muscle. And the goal of soft tissue therapy is to release muscle tension, promote healing, and stimulate stretch reflex response in the muscles. Soft tissue therapy is often used to restore range of motion limited by muscle tension due to myofascial contraction.
• Electrical stimulation (IFC, TENs)- this is a form of pain management your chiropractor would utilize in order to management your pain. Typically, this is done on patient with an acute injury (ie an ankle sprain, or a muscle tear). The way these modalities work is by stimulating peripheral nerves in order to help inhibit perception of painful stimulus via the pain-gate mechanism and/ or opioid system. Electrical stimulation works by stimulating A-beta sensory fibres, which helps decrease transmission of noxious stimulus sensory to the central nervous system (pain-gate mechanism). Another way electrical stimulation can work is by stimulating A-delta fibres, which will active the opioid mechanism, thus providing pain relief (opioid system).
• Rehabilitation- With physical injuries, it is extremely important to perform specific rehabilitation exercises. Rehabilitation exercises help enforce the passive treatment your chiropractor provides for you. By combining both physical rehabilitation and passive therapy, this will improve the time it takes for you to recovery from your injury.
• Spinal manipulation- Spinal manipulation is a technique in which the chiropractor will take the spinal joints to it’s end range, and applied a controlled high velocity, low amplitude force through the joint in an attempt the stretch the joint capsule. Often times this will produce an audible “pop” sound. This pop sound is created when the joint capsule is stretch, and gas bubbles within the joint are released. This is similar to when one “cracks their knuckles”. Spinal manipulation can help relief pain by decreasing noxious stimulus input, restoring range of motion in the spine, and helps reset muscle spindles/ reducing muscle tensions.

As one can see, chiropractors are well trained health professional that can help with issues related to one’s neuro-musculoskeletal system. Chiropractors often employed different techniques, and treatment option in order to help manage pain, restore range of motions, release muscle tensions, and aid in injury recovery.
