Seeing a chiropractor for sciatica
Sciatica is common but usually misunderstood. Sciatica occurs when one experiences constant pain in the sciatic nerve, which runs from the lower back to the buttocks and on down through the lower legs. This nerve extends through the entire lower part of the body, from the back all the way down to the legs. The sciatic nerve keeps the muscles of the lower legs functioning correctly, causing sensation in the lower extremities. Sciatica should not be used as a catch-all diagnosis for all forms of nerve pain; the term refers to a specific group of symptoms. Sciatica symptoms seem to affect those between the ages of 30 and 50 the most. Sciatica is often related to wear and tear of the lower spine area over time. Injuries are not known to cause sciatica.

We like to introduce all of you not necessarily to things only we find pleasing, but to find a bottle of wine that expands your wine journey while meeting your expectations for what you like to drink. When we get it right, which we like to think we do more often than not, it is very rewarding.

The sooner the better: Moms need postpartum care
Our bodies are ever changing regardless of our age, but for women in the childbearing years it can be especially challenging. The body goes through so much during pregnancy and a mom has such limited time frames to take care of themselves. The demands of motherhood, family and work-life mean that women are particularly susceptible to health issues after pregnancy. After pregnancy however, it is vitally important to retrain the core muscle system due to the anatomical changes and forces that have occurred during this time.

RUSSIA: Agents of chaos
Another day with Moscow on the Potomac. So, the Russians laundered money through the National Rifle Association using unregistered agents of the Russian government to fund not only the Trump campaign, but also other Republican candidates seeking election in 2016. The intent was to promote Russian interests in our beloved country. Aiding and abetting comes to mind.
NAMES: North Idaho, huh?
Wasn’t aware that there was more than one Idaho. I knew about North and South Dakota, North and South Carolina, and Virginia/West Virginia. Even Washington has enough brotherhood to be “Eastern and “Western.” The egotistical and arrogant Californians are Northern, Central and Southern. But, they are still Californians. Oh yes, they also have Baja California. I think there used to be a border there.

Our history is worth preserving
Whether one is a history buff or not, there’s just no getting around the fact that history surrounds and identifies all of us no matter who, what or where we are. Someone once defined history as “… a bunch of lies to which we all have agreed!” While most of us think that level of cynicism is unwarranted, it is a reminder that the history of anything must be properly researched, recorded and administered to be considered credible. Historic preservation is the foundation upon which that credibility can be built and sustained.

Losing your mind: Alzheimer's and dementia
Have you ever walked into a room and forgotten what you were there for? Have you ever misplaced something and couldn’t for the life of you find it anywhere? I’m sure when things like that happen you declare, “I must be losing my mind!” Most people have done this and are not losing their mind. Unfortunately, there are too many that are. There are an estimated 7.5 million Americans that have Alzheimer’s disease. Out of that, about 200,000 are under the age of 65. There is even a new category of “young-onset Alzheimer’s.” One out of ten over the age of 65, and half over the age of 85 have it. What’s going on and what can we do about it?

Can chiropractic help TMJ?
It’s easy to associate back pain and neck pain with chiropractic treatment, but many people who suffer from TMJ, or Temporomandibular Joint Disorder, have found relief with the help of chiropractic care. The causes of TMJ syndrome are not completely understood and multiple factors have been found to contribute to the muscle tightness and dysfunction that typically characterize this condition.

Hero comes home

VETERANS: Enough lip service
This is the season of flags and patriotism, starting with Memorial Day to Flag Day, extending to Independence Day and the fun of summertime. We are ready to stand up proud and congratulate ourselves for the sacrifice of our heroes and veterans. But this season, like all others, will be soon set aside for other interests. There is the occasional “Thank you for your service” or salute to men and women returning from deployment. But for most, the veteran will be forgotten until the next season of “Memorial day Grand Sales” and Fourth of July parties.

'Ant-Man and The Wasp' is lighthearted popcorn fare
The best way to follow a movie as big, heavy and exhausting as “Avengers: Infinity War” is to leap in the opposite direction.

Spinal decompression: Is it right for you?
If you are looking for an alternative to spinal surgery or pain medication, then spinal decompression may be a safe option for you.

These are considered good options, but the results can vary as well as the side-effects.

CHEERS: To Adler Critic
Re: David Adler, you are right on, John Rubert. Bravo!
Why sale of Avista is cause for alarm
Steve Cameron’s column “Pull the plug on Avista merger hysteria” in the June 28 Cd’A Press was written in a vacuum and does not reference the facts of the issue. No one knows who the unlisted owners of Hydro One are. Canadian law does not require their full disclosure. Oh, we know the referenced firms, but who are they? U.S. law states that they must be exposed, yet to date they have not been. Many believe that they are Chinese!

LABOR: Cheap vs. free
On June 29, Mike Reno wrote a letter to the editor about immigration. I am not sure I understood his point but one thing he said stands out. He said the main reason “we have” African-Americans is because farming and construction have relied on cheaper immigrants. He might want to revise that comment. There was this thing called slavery. Their labor was not cheap, it was free, and most Africans did not emigrate by choice.

COEUR d’ALENE — Just before Memorial Day, Cory Jane English wanted to boost a Facebook post she had made about her daughter, who served in Iraq.

English, the Democratic nominee for Legislative District 4’s state senate seat, had a message that resonates across the political divide: Remember those who died, and don’t forget those who came home with wounds, seen and unseen.

Health independence
I like being the one in control of my health. I choose the foods I eat, the exercise I employ and the remedies I use. I am in my early sixties and take no medications. I haven’t had an antibiotic since I was 16, and I enjoy good health. I am an avid student, studying and researching health continually. Education is power and I believe we all have power over our own health. To enjoy health independence is to take your power back when it comes to decision making. To be a good decision maker you can’t act out of emotional duress or the antithesis of education — ignorance.

The path to Independence Day began when our founders suffered severe hardships and terrible tragedies to leave their homelands to escape persecution from people in power and to live free.

Three common causes of knee pain
Each and every day you are doing activities that can place excessive stress and strain on your knees, from walking up and down stairs to lifting heavy objects. Knee pain can slow you down by impacting your daily life. It can begin by limiting your ability to walk up or down stairs and decrease your quality of sleep. For some of you who played sports in your youth, you may have a history of knee pain or an injury and now as you begin to age, the problem is returning. Pain is a warning sign and if the pain is severe enough to interfere with your daily life than it is time to have it evaluated. The good news is that you do not have to accept to live with the pain.

Twila Little, thank you so much for your letter to the editor. There is no better way to celebrate this Fourth of July holiday week than by every American viewing the production of the 1985 television special, “America: You’re Too Young To Die,” on YouTube.

Viewing this certainly lifted my heart and was most encouraging.
