Attention Retired Aetna Employees

Active or retired Aetna employees who perform vol-

untary service at the center, in any capacity, for at

least 35 hours per year can apply for a $300 grant

from the Aetna Foundation to benefit the center. In

addition, widows of retired Aetna employees who

were receiving Aetna pensions, can also apply for a

$300 grant. An important aspect of the Aetna grant

program is that every year is a “new ball game” that

is, each subsequent year of volunteer service quali-

fies for an additional $300 grant. Aetna has trans-

ferred it’s entire grant program to the Internet. For

help applying, see Lori and have your applicable

employee ID # available. If you do not have your ID

# we will call Aetna for that information.

Municipal Agent Notes By John Sullivan

Cold & Heat Therapy - What to Use and When

This information comes from Therapeutic Modalities in

Sports Medicine 4th Edition. William E. Prentice. You

may want to save it for future reference.

1. Cold Therapy is best used within the first 72 hours

in the event of an acute trauma or subacute injury.

It includes ice packs, ice massage, cold & ice whirl-

pools. By lowering the temperature in the injured

area, it decreases the production of metabolic heat-

thus reducing the amount of swelling, pain, or mus-

cle spasm. So cold therapy reduces additional dam-

age to the injured tissue resulting from the body’s

inflammatory response. Treatment times vary and

depend on several factors including the size of

treatment area, type of cold therapy and size of the

individual being treated. For example, a thin per-

son requires less treatment time because the cold

does not need to penetrate as much tissue to lower

the inner temperature. There are four stages of cold

therapy that assist in determining the appropriate

treatment time: 1.An uncomfortable feeling 2.

Stinging 3.Burning or aching, and finally 4. Numb-

ness. As it takes 5-15 minutes to reach all four

stages, treatment time should last a minimum of 15

minutes. Here is a quick tip: Mixing one cup of al-

cohol and two cups of water makes a good ice pack

because it freezes at a lower temperature but re-

mains slushy for good ice pack consistency.

2. Heat Therapy is recommended in subacute and

chronic conditions (such as arthritis) for reducing

pain and inflammation. The main reasons for heat

therapy are to increase tissue temperature which

increases blood flow and draws extra nutrients into

the injured area to assist in the recovery and heating

process. Because of this, heat should never be used

on an acute trauma or injury until the swelling is

controlled. Treatment time for heat is between 15

and 20 minutes. Just like with cold therapy, it takes

a minimum of 15 minutes for heat to penetrate tis-

sue so as to reach and raise inner temperatures.

Heat therapy applications include diathermy, ultra-

sound, warm whirlpool, infrared lamps, and chemi-

cally activated heat pads.

If you’re unsure whether to use cold or heat, the

recommendation is to consult a clinician who will

evaluate and apply the appropriate therapy, thus

increasing your chances of a quicker and less

stressful recovery.

Senior Citizens Club Club Social will be held on Friday, November 4th.

Doors open at 5pm. Thank you! Betty Ellis
