As temperatures rise, getting dehydrated is easy, especially during activity. Water supports spinal discs, reduces joint stiffness, and improves focus.
Most adults should aim to drink six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day (48-64 oz./1.5-2 liters total) and more if you sweat or are active outdoors!

Why won’t my back pain go away? 🤔
Chronic low back pain isn’t usually caused by one single trigger. It’s complex and influenced by several factors.
A recent study found that persistent pain was linked to:
🔹 Poor neck and hip mobility
🔹 Structural changes in spinal discs and joints
🔹 Psychological factors like stress and anxiety
That’s why a thorough history and exam are key. We look at the whole picture, not just your spine.
If your back pain persists, let’s work together to find a solution. Call us today!
