Why is staying hydrated important for a healthy back?

It's because your back has a high water content.

Your spine may be composed of bone, but the intervertebral discs nestled between your vertebrae contain a significant amount of water.

These discs function as shock absorbers, facilitating your spine's flexibility. And it is their water content that enables them to fulfil this role effectively.

Over time, these discs gradually lose water and their efficiency diminishes. So, as you get older, maintaining proper hydration is crucial for a healthy back.

Dehydration affects you faster than you may think, and is implicated in countless chronic and painful health conditions such as arthritis, osteoporosis, IBS, food intolerances, auto-i...

Sciatica is a common condition that we see in clinic a lot.

It happens when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed and it causes pain, numbness or tingling that often starts in your lower back or buttocks before continuing down one of your legs. Sometimes, you can also experience your leg ‘giving way’.

The pain it causes ranges from mild to severe. And if you're unlucky enough to experience the more severe pain, it can be an unbearable condition to live with. 😞

However, there are things you can do to help - and chiropractic treatment is one of them.

We're sometimes asked if massage helps or hinders chiropractic treatment.

Chiropractors focus on rebalancing the alignment of the spine and restoring normal nerve function as well as muscle tension.

And massage therapy helps to relax any residual muscle tension in a way that complements your chiropractic adjustment.

This explains more about how the two work together. ⬇️

We often talk about the importance of good posture. So, why is that? 🤔

The reason is that your body likes to be in balance. If it isn’t, sooner or later, problems start to creep in.

When your posture is strong and in balance, then all of the parts of your body are correctly aligned and work properly. And if it’s not? That’s when your body can become misaligned and you may start to experience pain.

So, how’s YOUR posture? You can read more about the things to think about as you consider your answer by clicking here ➡️ https://chislehurstchiro.com/posture/

Did you know...?

Even short-haul flights can compress the spine due to prolonged sitting. And dehydration from cabin air causes spinal discs to lose fluid, reducing their ability to absorb shock.

That's why it's a good idea to book an appointment with a chiropractor before you go on holiday.

Proactive care before travel optimises spinal mechanics and supports the nervous system to better adapt to stress. And that means fewer flare-ups while you’re away, better sleep in new beds and faster recovery if you do happen to get any niggles.
