Back pain – The path to moving better

By Kelly Harrold, DPT

The percentage of people that suffer from some degree of back pain in their life is staggering. Varying studies show numbers over 60%. Dealing with back pain can be very debilitating. Symptoms localized to the low back, mid back, neck or radicular symptoms in the leg can all challenge you to function within your daily activities.

Anyone that has dealt with back pain can appreciate that you would do almost anything to get rid of the pain. People try varying pain medications, muscle

relaxants, injections, and imaging such as X-ray or MRI to try to help solve the problem.

What if the secret lied in how YOU move? If someone taught you how to move differently to decrease and control your symptoms, wouldn’t you be interested in learning how to help yourself? Medication, hands-on treatment, and surgical procedures can help, but if you don’t change how you do things, isn’t it understandable to think the pain will just come back?

Exhausting conservative treatment should be everyone’s first line of defense with treating back pain.

Learn how to move better, learn how to protect your spine, and decrease your reliance on pain medication that leads to addiction and only treats the symptoms.

Nearly a year ago, Stuart McGill, PHD, published his third book titled “Back Mechanic.” In this book he describes how a person without a medical background can be taught to move differently to treat back pain without requiring medical intervention. Of course this is not a cure for everyone, but it could likely help a majority of people that suffer from back pain.

Treating back pain is not easy. Living with it is even worse. Seek out a physical therapist to help guide you along your way, and learn to live and move again.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey commented on Iowa crops, “In general, crops remain in very good condition with both 83 percent of corn and soybeans rated in good or excellent condition. Fortunately, most areas of the state have adequate moisture as we head into August, which is a critical time, especially for soybean development.”

Relatively dry conditions throughout the week were ideal for crop development and allowed Iowa farmers 5.4 days suitable for fieldwork for the week ending July 31, 2016, according to the USDA, National Agricultural Statistics Service. Activities for the week included cutting hay and aerial spraying of corn with fungicide and insecticide.

Topsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 10 percent short, 82 percent adequate and

6 percent surplus. Subsoil moisture levels rated 2 percent very short, 12 percent short, 81 percent adequate and 5 percent surplus.

Ninety-five percent of the corn crop reached the silking stage, five days ahead of last year and almost two weeks ahead of the five-year average. Thirty-five percent of the corn crop reached the dough stage. Isolated reports of corn starting to dent were received from across the State. Corn condition rated 83 percent good to excellent.

Soybeans blooming reached 90 percent, 6 days ahead of the previous year. Sixtyfour percent of soybeans were setting pods, 5 days ahead of last year. Soybean condition rated 83 percent good to excellent. Seventy-eight percent of the oat crop for grain or seed was harvested, 2 days ahead of both last year and the average.

The second cutting of alfalfa hay reached 93 percent, more than 2 weeks ahead of last year and 10 days ahead of normal. The third cutting of alfalfa hay was 28 percent complete, 6 days ahead of average. Hay condition was rated 73 percent good to excellent, while pasture condition was rated 61 percent good to excellent.

Reduced temperatures improved livestock conditions which were reported to be good.

Iowans encouraged to file unemployment claims online; phone option phasing out

Iowans filing continuing unemployment claims are encouraged to complete the process online rather than over the phone. Iowa Workforce Development (IWD) Unemployment Insurance (UI) Division is phasing out the telephone option and asking Iowans to file online. The phone option will no longer be available starting Oct. 1.

Ryan West, UI Division Officer, said providing notice of the change more than two months in advance allows for a smooth transition for the small number of individuals who file unemployment insurance benefits over the phone.

“A great deal of the public already use the online option,” West said. “By transitioning the remaining Iowans to online filing, our claims specialists can provide better customer service to Iowans filing for unemployment by more effectively and efficiently processing employment claims.”

“In addition, the online process helps to ensure more timely and accurate benefit payouts to individuals as a detailed record is provided with a time and date stamp.”

West said employers and businesses will also reap benefits with the focus on online filing.

“We are committed to driving down administrative costs in the UI benefits system,” West said. “The integrity of the UI trust fund will be maintained by reducing incidents of fraud by eliminating improper payments, helping to lower employers’ taxes.”

Individuals receiving unemployment benefits are receiving a letter about the change.

The letter outlines the easy steps to file a weekly claim or check the claim status online by going to the IWD website at www.iowaworkforcedevelopment.gov and clicking “File Weekly Claim” from the homepage.

If individuals do not have access to a computer, a limited number of UI Customer Service representatives are available to help claimants over the phone. The UI Customer Service number is 1-866-239-0843. Representatives are available Monday through Friday from 8 AM-4:30 PM. “Our goal is for all Iowans to submit their unemployment claims filings online, and we thank Iowans for their cooperation,” West said. “With the majority of job applications being submitted online, it is only natural we move to primarily an online system for filing unemployment claims.”

Fishing for a Good Return?

Iowa data shows childhood trauma linked to poor adult health

A new report from the Central Iowa ACEs 360 Coalition shows most Iowa adults have experienced childhood trauma, an indicator of higher rates of chronic diseases, mental illness, violence, risky behaviors, and reduced life expectancy among adults.

The 2016 ACEs report, Beyond ACEs: Building Hope & Resiliency in Iowa, examines three years of data collected among adult Iowans measuring eight types of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), defined as physical, sexual and emotional abuse, and household difficulties of parental substance abuse, mental illness, incarceration, divorce and domestic violence.

“Our research shows that 56% of Iowa adults report at least one adverse childhood experience. About 15% of Iowa adults experienced four or more types of childhood trauma, which is a significant level of stress during early development,” said Lisa Cushatt, Central Iowa ACEs Coalition manager. “Adults who have experienced four or more ACEs are 2.2 times more likely to have a heart attack, 3.3 times more likely to smoke, and six times more likely to have been diagnosed with depression than adults who report no adverse childhood experiences.”

Further analysis of the Iowa Youth Survey results suggest that Iowa’s youth are experiencing stress at a level similar to the outcomes in the adult ACEs data. Of 16 questions related to drinking, drug use, having thoughts of suicide, having a happy home and feeling connected to the community, about 25% of Iowa youth reported at least three risk factors and 8% had six-plus risk factors.

State mental health services more limited than ever Governor Branstad’s closing of Mental Health Institutes is taking its toll. Iowa is worst in the nation when it comes to the state’s ability to provide inpatient mental health treatment for our citizens.

According to the nonpartisan Treatment Advocacy Center, Iowa has only 64 state beds (down from 149 in 2010) for mental health patients – that’s two beds for every 100,000 Iowans – and most of them are already being used by inmates.

Iowans often have long waits to get the mental health services they need. Without treatment, many end up behind bars, which adds to the burden on our already strained corrections system.

The situation has gotten worse under Governor Branstad. He has shut down mental health institutes in Mt. Pleasant and Clarinda, the Iowa Juvenile Home in Toledo, and the Psychiatric Medical Institution for Children in Independence.

That leaves Iowa with about 731 mental health beds (public and private), not nearly enough to help Iowa children and adults with serious mental illnesses.

Governor Branstad’s unilateral decision to close the 15-bed Psychiatric Medical Institution for Children in Independence this summer means there are now fewer options for Iowa kids in need of mental health care.

It's a shame to lose this successful, high-quality health care program with skilled local caregivers who worked with children in need. In the end, Iowa kids and Iowa tax dollars will be sent out of state for health care that had been provided close to home.

For more on the troubles states face when they don't have enough psychiatric beds, see the 2016 report from the Treatment Advocacy Center at www.tacreports.org/storage/documents/going-going-gone.pdf.

URGENT CARE Office Hours

It’s hard to believe July is over! Soon students will be heading back to school and hopefully some cooler temperatures will follow.

Last week, the Board of Regents agreed to increase tuition by $250 for in-state students, which is concerning our students are already struggling with high student debt.

Because of a lack of state funding by the House Majority Party last session, the Regents also increased tuition for other students at the universities, including graduate and out-of-state students. Out-of-state undergraduate tuition at the UI will increase by $400, while business and engineering students will see an increase of $500 to $800.

Although I fought to keep tuition low for students, I am hoping in the future we can work together and relieve the heavy debt burden that too many students are graduating with.

Last spring, Governor Branstad privatized the state’s Medicaid program and I heard from many of you who came to our listening post on privatization a couple weeks ago.

Unfortunately, we are still hearing troubling stories from providers and Iowans.

A new survey of providers released this week and a legislative health committee hearing held on Tuesday confirmed the Medicaid situation is getting worse, not better. The survey found half of providers are being forced to reduce services for clients because of privatization. One provider said the switch to privatization has been especially hard on rural mental health centers. Another noted one of the out-of-state managed care companies (MCO) is denying authorization for care needed to keep clients in their own home, which means care will be more expensive in a facility.

Providers are also facing a huge financial burden because of payment delays and lower reimbursement rates from the MCOs. Nearly 80% of providers said they aren’t getting paid on time while nearly every provider said their own administrative costs have increased trying to navigate the new privatization system.

It’s clear the Medicaid mess created by Governor Branstad isn’t getting any better.

That’s why I’ll keep working to hold all involved accountable and make sure Iowans can get the health care they deserve.

It is my honor and a humbling experience to be the State Representative for our community. I appreciate the messages and correspondence I receive from people in the District. You can always contact me anytime at bruce.bearinger@legis.iowa.gov or 515-281-3221.

Annual pheasant survey underway Iowa’s 15-day annual pheasant population survey began August 1, and wildlife experts say all indicators are pointing to a stable to increasing population of the popular game bird.

Todd Bogenschutz, upland wildlife research biologist for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, said snowfall totals, spring rain and nesting temperature all have a roll in pheasant survival and nesting success. But while these indicators point to likely increases or decreases in the population, the best measure is the annual August roadside survey.

The August roadside survey is conducted driving the same 218, 30-mile routes over Iowa gravel roads on mornings with heavy dew and light wind. These conditions allow the best opportunity to count broods when the hen moves them from the dew heavy grass to the gravel road to dry off before dining on a breakfast of insects.

The survey also records the number of quail, cottontail rabbits, jackrabbits and partridge.

“We’ve been hearing reports from the southern third of Iowa of more rooster crowing and male bobwhite calling this spring, which is a great sign for overwinter survival.

Broods began showing up in mid May which suggests a good nesting season,” Bogenschutz said. “Our bobwhite population could be its highest in decades if we have a favorable nesting season.”

While much of southern Iowa enjoyed a mild winter, the western third of Iowa had either higher snowfall, and/or higher spring rain that may impact winter survival and nesting success. The region with the most favorable conditions was east of I-35 and south of Hwy. 175. Other regions had mix of good news bad news for weather indicators that will be sorted out in August.

“Overall we should see another increase in pheasants and quail,” he said.

If it happens, it would be the fourth year in a row for a pheasant increase.

pheasants has not been mirrored by return of pheasant hunters.

After dropping to an all-time low of 41,000 in 2013, more than 56,000 hunters pursued pheasants in 2015, harvesting more than a quarter million roosters.

“Hunters look at our pheasant harvest estimate as a gauge of our population, but that is misleading because if hunters aren’t out there, the harvest will be down.

Based on last year’s population estimate, a harvest of a half million roosters is possible. We are glad to see hunters returning, but we won’t reach our harvest potential until we have more hunters in the field,” Bogenschutz said.

Iowa’s pheasant season begins Oct. 29.

If you have questions or need assistance, please call your child’s building.

According to Iowa Law and the Independence Community School District Board Policy, it is now possible to receive financial waivers for all or partial school fees for those who meet the financial guidelines. Information can be obtained confidentially from the Food Service Director at 319-332-0597.

The News & The Guide

Submitted by Ashley Sherrets, Ag/Hort Coordinator Buchanan Co. ISU Extension

The news has been showing interviews of people with large, blistered burns all over their arms and legs, the result of a plant rather than ďŹ re. These images immediately result in calls and questions about what people should look out for, and any additional information about the plants. A few of the common toxic weeds that you may encounter when out and about this year are wild parsnip (Pastinaca sativa), poison hemlock (Conicum maculatum), and poison ivy (Toxicodendron radicans).

If you’ve been watching the news, you’ve probably seen wild parsnip being talked about quite a bit. Wild parsnip is a common, non-native, roadside weed that can be found in Iowa. The plant is a biennial/perennial herb that can grow up to 4' tall, and can be found owering from May until July. Flowers have lacy yellow-green heads, and look similar to Queen Anne’s Lace (Daucus carota).

Wild parsnip plants contain a substance called psoralen, which can cause a condition called “phytophotodermatitis;â€? this occurs when the plant’s oil/juice comes into skin, which is then exposed to sunlight. The result can be skin reddening, followed by a rash, and in extreme reactions, blisters, red or brown skin discoloration, and burning or a scalding pain. The skin discoloration can last for months, and sometimes up to two years. Be sure to wash o any plant parts that may come into contact with your skin as soon as possible. The best way to stay safe around wild parsnip is prevention, by wearing long sleeves and pants, gloves, and by staying away from the plant itself. The plant itself generally acts as a biennial, with the ďŹ rst year of growth in a basal rosette, overwintering and then putting up a tall, hollow stem the second year. The owers of the wild parsnip are small, generally yellow (though sometimes they are white), the petals have ďŹ ve petals and the owers are arranged in an umbel (looks like an upside down umbrella). These ower umbels are anywhere from two to ďŹ ve inches across and can be found on top of thin stems.

Poison hemlock is the plant said to have been used in ancient Greece to procure the poison that was used on Socrates. This weed is a member of the parsley family and also has a biennial growth habit, similar to that of the wild parsnip. The ďŹ rst year the foliage can be found in a low, basal rosette in which it overwinters, and then the next year it bolts up a stem that is from 3-8' tall. Stems are smooth and have distinctive purple mottling on them.

The owers of the poison hemlock are small, white, have ďŹ ve petals and grow in an umbel, similar to the wild parsnip. Flowering occurs in June and July. The leaves of the poison hemlock are fern-like, smooth without hairs.

All parts of the poison hemlock plants are poisonous to both humans and animals, if consumed, as they contain a highly poisonous alkaloid compound. This weed is invasive and can easily establish in disturbed sites, along roads, streams, trails, in ditches, the edges of forests and waste areas as it prefers more damp conditions. Care should be taken when handling the poison hemlock, by wearing long pants, sleeves, and gloves while removing.

Information about removal techniques can be obtained from Buchanan County ISU Extension oďŹƒce.

The last, but probably more common of the three weeds is poison ivy. While some people seemingly have no

reaction to poison ivy, others have an allergic reaction which can sometimes be severe. Coming into contact with poison ivy can result in itching, burning or blisters, which typically develop with 12-24 hours after coming into contact with the plant’s oil/juice. While people may not have a reaction the ďŹ rst time they encounter poison ivy, the IDNR reports that roughly 85% of people will have a reaction the second time they come into contact with this weed. IdentiďŹ cation of this weed is the best way to avoid contact. The rhyme “leaves of three, let it beâ€? has been drilled into many children’s head before heading out on a hike or walk. Poison ivy is not the only plant with three leaves in the woods. Be on the lookout for three leaets, with shiny to dull leaves that are 2-5" long. The

stems of the plant are smooth and don’t contain hair or thorns. The tricky part is to remember that poison ivy can grow as a small plant/shrub or as a climbing vine. You’ll ďŹ nd the poison ivy blooming in the spring; the plant hosts white berries from late summer through winter. To avoid reaction from poison ivy, the best way is to dress in long pants and sleeves, and wear gloves if attempting to pull it down. Never burn poison ivy! The oil remains in the smoke, which can then enter the person’s nose, mouth or lungs.

Being informed and aware when you are outdoors this summer appears is your best defense again the listed weeds. If you would like more information about any of these weeds, or others, please contact Ashley Sherrets, Ag/Hort Program Coordinator with Buchanan County ISU Extension and Outreach at 319-334-7161 or sherrets@iastate.edu.
