If you have a new business on the Los Angeles Westside, chances are you are going to be assigned the new 424 area code, which is the new code overlay for the westside of Los Angeles.

Area code 424 is the first non-mobile area code overlay in the Southern California area. As a result, if you are in the 310 area code and want to call someone on your same overlay, you’ll have to dial 310 before making your normal 7-digit call. Basically, as a result of the overlay, people with a 310 or 424 area code must dial 1 + area code + seven-digit number when making calls.

The new code was adopted to accommodate the growing need for telephone numbers in the west Los Angeles area. It is the first code overlay for the state of California. Four-two-four (424) is intended to serve customers in the same geographic region as the current 310 area code, which includes Santa Monica, Marina del Rey, the Westside and South Bay area of Los Angeles County, and even a small portion of Ventura County.

The 424 area code overlay became effective in August of 2006 and we will continue to see more 424 area code listings appear as the months go on. I guess all those folks moving into Playa Vista over the next few years are going to end up with 424 area codes.

Let’s see how long it is before we hear people saying “oh, you are so 310″ meaning, you are “old news.”

Sciatica is a very common problem and it is often defined as pain that travels from the lower back or the leg via the sciatica nerve. The pain is often times a result of the pinching of the nerve root in the lower spinal region (lumbar area) that forms the sciatica nerve. Often times, sciatica is the result of a herniated disc or damaged disc in the lumber spine, which results in pressure on the sciatica nerve. The condition is often referred to as a radiculopathy and it means that a disc has moved from its normal position in the spine and is causing pressure on the radicular nerve located in the lower back.

Sciatica is most common among people between the ages of 30 and 50, but many people have sciatic nerve complaints into their 60s 70s 80s and 90s. There are less frequent cases where sciatica is the result of an injury or direct physical trama. Most of the time direct trama problems are caused by injury to the lower back spinal areas.

Any symptom that results from an irritation of the sciatic nerve is classified as sciatica. This irritation may result from several combinations. The most common form of pain experienced in sciatica is from the hip to the calf of any one leg. The pain can scale down to the foot or reach up to the lower back. It is quite common to have difficulty controlling the leg at such times or even have the leg going numb.

The sciatica nerve is the largest nerve in the human body. The nerve begins at the lumbar spinal cord and exits the spine at the L4 L5 areas. This is where the root of the sciatica nerve is location and from here it goes to the buttocks region. Pain is felt when the root of the nerve is irritated or pinched by any means. If a disc from the spinal cord slips out of its normal location then it can press down or pinch the sciatic nerve and bring about the symptoms mentioned.

The most common symptom is a consistent pain in one side of the buttock that goes down to the leg on the same side. This pain is very sharp and sitting or standing can be very difficult. The affected leg may also experience numbness or general weakness. Sometimes the numb feeling is felt in the back of the upper leg (hamstring), sometimes it is felt in the lower leg (calf muscle), sometimes it is felt in both the upper and lower leg, and even into the heel of the foot, and/or the big toe.

Though relatively less common, an injury to the sciatic nerve can also cause this problem. The injury can even be the result of a puncture wound to the upper thigh or the buttocks. People who spend way too much time sitting in one position (like driving in traffic) or standing for too long (waiting in line at Costco) are also at risk of developing sciatica because this puts a lot of pressure on the nerve. Increased use of computers is resulting in greater complaints about sciatica and low back related problems in general. It is even possible that foreign bodies or tumors may also cause irritation in the sciatic nerve.

the condition of sciatica is often tested using computerized EMG that records electric activity in muscles or through a nerve conduction test. Many people with sciatic complaints will have a two to five view x-ray series done on their lumbar spine in order to see if spinal vertebrae are involved.

What one is going to do for sciatica is going to differ from person to person. In chiropractic, chiropractor’s work with the spine in order to restore normal position and function to not only the lumbar areas (which are most often involved with sciatic pain), but to other areas of the spine as well. A chiropractor will typically begin first with an examination of the low back and legs, as well as an exam on the rest of the spine. Chiropractors will often use their hands to feel for muscle tension, tightness, edema (swelling), and misalignment of vertebrae in the lumbar spine areas. Some chiropractors will take x-rays and others will not. The decision to take x-rays or not depends mostly on the techniques the chiropractor uses in clinical practice.
