🌞 Feeling the Heat? Your Joints Might Be Too! 💧
As we head into the warmer weather, staying hydrated isn’t just important for your energy levels, it’s essential for your spine and joints too.
🥤 Why hydration matters for your spine:
💧 The discs between your vertebrae are made mostly of water
💧 When you’re dehydrated, those discs can lose flexibility and shock absorption
💧This may lead to stiffness, increased discomfort, and even slow down recovery
🦴 Hydration helps:
• Maintain joint lubrication
• Support muscle function
• Improve spinal alignment responses
• Reduce fatigue (which affects posture)
👉 Chiro Tip:
Start each day with a glass of water, aim for small sips often (not big gulps occasionally), and increase intake on hot days or when active. If you feel thirsty you’re already behind!
