HEALTH + WELLNESS
Treatment Options for Sciatica By Dr. Eric Choi
In the last article about sciatica, we discussed the causes, signs and symptoms of sciatica. Now, we’ll go over a few non-surgical options for alleviating sciatica pain for good. Spinal Decompression With spinal decompression, a traction device allows the targeted spinal regions to be expanded to take the pressure off the spinal nerve. Chiropractic Adjustment
(Also called Chiropractic Manipulation)
A chiropractic adjustment focuses on improving spinal function and reducing pressure on the sciatic nerve roots to treat the underlying problems which may be causing sciatica. How a Chiropractic Adjustment Works Chiropractic manipulation typically involves: A controlled, sudden force applied to a spinal segment to normalize motion and improve function. Reducing joint restriction and restoring function allows the local inflammation and pain reflex responses to subside.
In some cases, an accompanying, audible release of gas (joint cavitation or cracking) may be heard. Less frequently, minor discomfort may occur (that usually lasts for only a short time duration) if the surrounding muscles are in spasm or tense. Exercise and Physical Therapy Common types of exercises for sciatica include strengthening the core muscle, extension exercises, hamstring stretching, and low impact aerobic exercise.
Cold Laser Therapy Cold Laser therapy that is also known as LowLevel Laser Therapy (LLLT) can be effective in reducing inflammation in and around inflamed tissues including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and fibrocartilages (disc). Natural Remedies It is common to choose OTC anti-inflammatories or pain medications to alleviate symptoms. They usually work well, but there are some risks to burden your organ systems. There are alternative choices that can be equally effective, such as valerian root, which is a natural muscle relaxant and sedative that helps relieve spasm, tension, and pain. Passion-flowers and magnesium are also known to have a similar effect. As some herbs may interact with your current medications/supplements regimen, consult your healthcare practitioners before start taking them.

ARTS + CULTURE
Family Discovery Series: Opera Colorado Presents Hansel and Gretel On February 15th, Opera Colorado and Parker Arts will be presenting Hansel and Gretel at The PACE Center. This performance will be part of the Family Discovery Series, a program created for families looking to introduce little ones to new experiences. Each show is affordably priced and under 60 minutes to give your kids a taste of all that is great about the arts. Opera Colorado has brought worldclass opera to Denver and beyond since its founding in 1981. In addition to their mainstage performances at the Ellie Caulkins Opera House each season, they affirm their commitment to the future of the art form by annually presenting new works as part of their Scene Change initiative; with their nationally recognized Artist in Residence Program that trains the next generation of opera performers; and by each year reaching more than 45,000 students and adults through their statewide
education and community programs. The company began in 1980 when a group of local opera fans met at the GrantHumphreys Mansion to discuss the need for an opera company in Denver. While there were several regional companies, the Friends of Opera wanted to establish a major production company that could bring opera to audiences in the area. Since its first season in 1983, Opera Colorado has experienced an impressive
amount of growth and achievements, and in future seasons they will continue the tradition established by Nat Merrill of presenting conventional performances and innovative restagings, bringing renowned stars and emerging talent to Denver and sharing opera with audiences through live performances and educational and cultural programs. Stranded in the Magic Forest, things look “Grimm” indeed for a young brother and sister. Follow the trail of breadcrumbs to this production of the beloved fairytale, sung in English and staged traditionally, that offers a unique production of classical literature in Opera. Experience this enchanted odyssey through a magical forest and a house made of gingerbread!

Ways to Keep 1 Your Fitness Routine On Track
Find a Workout Buddy
Instead of flying solo, bring a friend so you can encourage each other during your workouts. To help maximize the impact, try to pick a partner that is on the same fitness level as you and shares similar goals - you will want to be able to increase your intensity level and challenge each other as a team.
By BPT
With the New Year comes resolutions to live better in the year ahead, and the most common resolutions are often related to fitness and health. Everyone seems to start the year off with the best intentions, motivated and ready to tackle their goals, but come mid-February many of these resolutions have gone by the wayside and people return to old habits. Here are some ways to keep your fitness goals on track.

Fuel Up
An active lifestyle requires proper nutrition. When regularly exercising, your body needs fuel for optimal performance and proper recovery. Before a workout, opt for healthy and easily digestible carbohydrates like brown rice, quinoa, whole-grain bread and pasta, fruits and vegetables to give you energy. Afterward, try a protein-packed snack like Emergen-C Protein Fuel and Superfoods.
3
Head to the Weights
If your fitness goals include improving body composition and losing weight, you may want to introduce strength training into your regimen. While exercises such as walking, running and cycling can do wonders for your cardiovascular health and help burn calories, strength training with weights can elevate your metabolism for a longer period - meaning your body will continue burning calories even after a workout.
4
Switch it Up
After a while, bodies can grow accustomed to the same exercise routine, often leading to stalled results. If you find yourself breezing through a workout, it’s time to switch it up and push your limits. If you like to run long distances, try implementing sprint intervals. At the gym? Try out new equipment or vary your reps. Challenge your body and you may be surprised by the results.
5
Take a Break
The last way to maximize your fitness routine has nothing to do with the gym at all. In fact, it requires you to skip the gym. Exercise provides many health benefits, but too many high-intensity workouts can backfire, potentially causing injury from overuse and hindering your results. Allow your body enough time to heal before hitting the gym again and try to work active rest days into your schedule, such as going for a light walk or bike ride.

HOME
4 Home Upgrades That Are Good for the Environment Consumers today are more mindful about the environmental impact of everything they do. Here are a few simple steps homeowners can take to save energy and help the environment.
By BPT
HVAC system in a variety of styles to fit any décor that can be easily installed by a contractor, you might consider wallmounted duct-free systems from a trusted brand like LG. They offer a variety of ultraquiet “Art Cool” options. These systems are smart-enabled, allowing homeowners to adjust the temperature from their LG ThinQ app, or with simple commands via Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa.
1. Boost Your Insulation: You may already know what areas of your home are poorly insulated, simply by how you feel when it’s cold or hot outside. You can have a professional home energy audit conducted to help pinpoint areas that need improvement. Many energy companies provide an audit free of charge.
3. Replace Doors And Windows: The latest energy-efficient models of windows and doors not only reduce leaks around the frames, but they’re made from materials that enhance insulation. Energy Star qualified doors and window fit better to prevent leakage and use improved core materials for superior insulation.
2. Upgrade Your Heating & Cooling System: Heating and cooling your home uses the most energy, so investing in Energy Star certified HVAC products can make a big difference when it comes to cutting energy costs and your home’s impact on the environment. The most eco-conscious consumers will want to look for “Energy Star Most Efficient” HVAC solutions. For a new
4. Go Solar: While most people are aware that solar power harnesses the sun’s energy to create electricity, many don’t know how easy
and cost-effective it is to go solar. The newest technology behind solar energy has made it increasingly accessible and appealing for homeowners. When going solar, it’s important to seek out a brand you trust, one like LG that offers solar panels covered by a 25-year limited product, part and performance warranty. Choosing just one area to upgrade will save energy, bettering the planet while enhancing your home.

Ways Pets Improve Overall Well-Being By Family Features
Self-care is an important piece of maintaining a happy and healthy life, and adopting a pet can be a beneficial way to improve overall wellbeing in a number of ways. Increase Physical Activity Adopting a pet offers owners a chance to improve daily exercise habits. From taking walks and playing in the yard to having a new partner for hikes and visits to the park, dog owners have numerous opportunities to be active with their four-legged friends. Cats also need playtime each day, providing cat owners with a designated time to get active while bonding with their pets.

COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT
Change A Child’s Story as a CASA Volunteer “In the system” – “abused” – “neglected” – “traumatized” These are all words we most often use with kids in the foster care system. Not ours, not us, not our neighbors or friends, not even our city or our county. But the reality is that a record number of Colorado children experienced abuse and neglect last year – 13,329 to be exact – and many of those children had to walk through big, scary courtroom doors without a family member to support them, speak for them or consider their needs. For many Colorado children, a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) stood beside them, listened to their fears, spoke on their behalf in court and ensured they were so much more than a number in the child welfare system. Challenge:
Colorado CASA is looking to change that. They are challenging 2,020 Coloradans to sign up to volunteer as a CASA in 2020, which would mean Colorado CASA could double its impact on the children who need us most.
What is a CASA? CASA volunteers are sworn officers of the court appointed by a juvenile court judge to advocate for children who are living in foster care as a result of abuse or neglect. State caseworkers are very busy and usually have an overload of cases. They are spread too thin, and CASA volunteers look out for the best interest of each individual child by reviewing documents and records pertaining to the child’s case, interviewing adult family members as well as other adults in the child’s life. CASA then serves as the voice of the
child in court and provides written reports for court hearing. A child’s CASA can simply change a child’s story and give that child the confidence that someone has his or her best interests at heart. CASA workers stay on board for the entire duration of the child’s case so things will move more smoothly and easily for the child. With an average of four hours a week anyone over the age of 21 – even working professionals and young adults – can Change a Child’s Story as a CASA volunteer. Children in foster care who have a CASA volunteer are more likely to succeed in school, adjust to change and feel a sense of purpose and worth. And they’re half as likely to re-enter the foster care system later.
Together, with your help in spreading the word regarding this critical need for more CASA volunteers, we can help change a child’s story. Visit www.ColoradoCasa.org to learn more.
