TIle connection between disease

"M t of the illne that affect
Americans today are life tyle re­
lated," ya Willi m G. Anderson,
D.O., DOH Director or Governmen­
tal Affairs, and retired urgeon,
"Heart disease, stroke and cancer are
ignificantly related to diet, lack of
exercise, smoking, drinking and
other lifestyle variables."
National Osteopathic Medicine
Week will focus on several key ri k
factors that, if controlled, can
decrease premature death. Some of
these lifestyle decisions include:
regular check-ups, healthy diet, en-
. sible exerci e, avoiding back in-
juries, and not smoking. .
While carelessness can kill,
imple preventive measures can your
life and often times improve your .
quality of life.
PREVENTION CAN also ave
billions of dollars at a time when
healthcare costs seem uncon­
trollable.

Sciatica: Pain of the Back, Hip, and Legs
Sciatic pain occurs more frequendy in men and involves pain of the legs
, and lower back. Sciatic pain can result from pressure on the sciatic nerve,
the largest nerve in the body. Actually there is more than one sciatic nerve.
These nerves branch out from the spinal cord to the buttocks, the �
organs, and the lower extremities. Any condition that affects the sciatic
nerve that runs down each leg can cause pain all the way from the lower
back to the toes.
, Typically, sciatica is sensed as burning pain that hoots down the hip
along the back of the thigh. Coughing, sneezing, or trying to bend the back
may worsen the pain. The pressure on the sciatic nerve is thought to occur
when one of the disc of the back bone breaks and presses on one of the
roots of the sciatic nerve. A narrowing of the opening in the vertebrae from
arthritis of the spine is another cause of sciatic pain.
Treatment of sciatica consists of bed rest and limiting movement of the
extremities. Heat from beating pad or ho water bottle applied to the hip
and legs may provide some relief of pain. Nonprescription pain-relievers
uch as aspirin, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen may be helpful. If the pain
persists, trcaunent of underlying causes may be necessary. Surgery may
be required to correct an abnormal spinal condition.
