What is sciatica and what can you do to relieve the pain?

As it gets warmer many people start to become more outdoorsy and active. Just a reminder to limit outdoor activities on hot days to the morning or evening hours to prevent sunburn and heat related symptoms. Now more than ever do you need to stay hydrated. Unless otherwise prescribed the average person should drink according to the Mayo Clinic at least 11,5 cups per day for women and 15,5 cups a day for men. More, if you are in hot climates, especially dry heat where you don't recognize how much water you loose or with exercise. According to the Los Angeles Times 599 heat related deaths had occurred within the last decade. According to one environmental study during July/August of 2006 11,500 ER visits were contributed to heat related injuries in California alone. Be especially vigilant while barbecuing during hot weather and don't drink alcohol while manning the grill. Alcohol enhances the possibility for heat stroke tremendously. Always wear a hat and try to remain in the shade. I am a heat stroke surviver myself and if you had a heat stroke once, you might be more susceptible for repeated heat strokes. If I have an all day outing in the summer, like going to the zoo, or Sea World, I have to wet my clothes in regular intervals and douse my head with water and wear a hat. Otherwise I will get very sick. There goes all vanity out the door. lol Learn More

What does a Chiropractor do?
By Erin Alessandro 07 Apr, 2022
Low back pain is a warning sign that should not be ignored. Unfortunately most doctors are only trained in Western Medicine which does not understand the connection between muscle tension and degenerative diseases. This is a shame because most degenerative diseases could be prevented if clients would be send to a manual therapist and chiropractor before too much damage has been done. Other causes can be obesity, heavy lifting or too strenuous work that causes too much strain on muscles and joints, as well as accidents or auto immune diseases. But lets stay with what I see as the Number One cause for low back pain and other degenerative conditions. As mentioned tension on the joints, that causes them to loose cartilage and buffer fluid or in the case of the spine injure or reduce the disc body of a vertebra, is the Number One reason for pain.
