We all know drinking enough water is essential for health, but many people don’t realize just how closely hydration is tied to spinal health and chiropractic care .

When you’re dehydrated, it doesn’t just affect your energy level… it affects your spine.

Your spine is one of the most remarkable structures in your body — strong enough to support your entire frame, yet flexible enough to allow you to move, bend, and twist.

Sciatica is a term that describes pain, tingling, or numbness that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve , which runs from the lower back down through the hips, buttocks, and legs. While it’s a common condition, it can be frustrating and disruptive, affecting daily activities like walking, sitting, or even sleeping.

Healthy joints are essential for mobility, balance, and comfort — whether you’re walking, exercising, or simply getting through a busy day. While chiropractic care helps keep your joints aligned and moving freely, what you eat also plays a big role in keeping them healthy and resilient.
