In April, Jason and his wife had the opportunity to travel to Shanghai and Beijing, China. While in Shanghai they visited Shanghai Disneyland and saw the incredible modern architecture and skyscrapers along The Bund. They rode a bullet train from Shanghai to Beijing reaching speeds of 200 mph. In Beijing they visited the Forbidden City, The Temple of Heaven, The Summer Palace, and the 2008 Olympic venues. The highlight of the trip was climbing The Great Wall of China, one of the seven wonders of the ancient world. After climbing 129 flights of stairs and taking in an amazing panoramic view of The Great Wall and surrounding mountains, they were able to check an item off their bucket list.

Doyouexperiencepain in thebuttock, leg,orevenyour foot? If so, you may be experiencing sciatica. Sciatica is a common form of back and leg pain that is often misunderstood by sufferers. People frequently have questions about what sciatica is, why it occurs and how to find relief from the intense pain it can cause from the low back down to the feet. If you are suffering from sciatica, it is important to find its root cause. Many people often think an x-ray or expensive MRI is first needed to figure out what is causing pain. Having a lot of tests doesn’t mean you will find its root cause. Recent studies show that nearly 1 million of MRIs done for sciatica fail to find a treatable cause. With a new imaging technique called magnetic resonance neurography,69%of thepatientswere found tohavea trapped sciatic nerve deep in the buttock by a muscle

called the piriformis. It is known that in about 25% of the general population, the sciatic nerve pierces through the piriformis muscle and can be susceptible

to abnormal pressure and irritation. Why Does Sciatica Occur?

If there are changes in posture, muscle strength or pelvic alignment, the nerve can be compressed which leads to the quite common low back and sciatic nerve pains. The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in your body. It even reaches down to the foot and therefore,canbe irritatedanywherealong itspath.With sciatica, the consequent ache can be felt anywhere from the base of the spine, the buttocks or the back of the thigh and legs. Even tingling sensations in the toes can be attributed at times to the impingement of the sciatic nerve.
