Water's Role for a Healing Pain and a Healthy Spine

Hello everyone!

As we continue to conduct our reasearch on back, neck and sciatica pain relief for our up-coming book, "Powerful Strategies for Back and Neck Pain Relief" we're continuously reminded of the importance of proper hydration as one of many, many important ways to maintain a healthy spine and, for many, a healing for their pain.

The following is a brief mention of water's role in the spine.

Mechanics of the Intervertebral Disk: "Water can come in and out of the disk by means of small pores, which act as byways to and from the bone of the nearby vertebra. Loading of the spine, (which happens in sitting and standing) pushes the water out of the disk. Laying down allows the water to come back in. Unfortunately, the aging process is such that over time, more water leaves the disk than enters.
Unlike the muscles and organs of our bodies, the intervertebral disk has no blood supply. This means that for an intervertebral disk to receive necessary nutrition (and for wastes to be carried away), it has to rely on mechanical means and the flow of water."

To your health,

Relieve Lower Back Pain and Neck Pain: How to Sit at a Computer

It's no wonder why so many office professionals complain of lower back pain - just look around and see how many people have poor postures ....

How to Sit at a Computer - wikiHow: "Push your hips as far back as they can go in the chair. Adjust the seat height so that your feet are flat on the floor and your knees equal to, or slightly lower than, your hips. Adjust the back of the chair to a 100°-110° reclined angle. Make sure that your upper and lower back are supported. If necessary, use inflatable cushions or small pillows. When your chair has an active back mechanism use it to make frequent position changes. Adjust the armrests so that your shoulders are relaxed, and remove them completely if you find that they are in your way."

To your health!

Can Back and Neck Pain be Due to Not Drinking Enough Water?

Hi All!

I'm sure you'll enjoy the following article that I found on the importance of hydration for back and neck pain relief as well as for healing. Enjoy!

Back Pain and Chronic Dehydration - Can Back Pain be Due to Not Drinking Enough Water?: "Obviously, smokers, alcoholics, and couch potatoes are more prone to back pain than active, healthy individuals. It also seems that everyone is more prone to episodes of low back pain when they are dehydrated and/or under extreme amounts of stress. After an initial history and examination, I set out to determine a comprehensive chiropractic treatment regime, one that would best benefit my patients suffering with back pain. This regime includes proper hydration levels by recommending increased water intake."

To your great health!

News Flash: Back and Neck Pain Can Actually Help Heal You!

You see, when you're suffering from pain, it's hard to understand that pain is actually a good thing!
If you're thinking "You're Nuts!" That's okay - I used to think the same thing too!

... and here's why.

When you're searching for a "cure" you must be able to read what you're body's telling you and pain is the body's way of simply saying that there's something wrong.

Medicine and surgery might subdue or even remove the symptoms (and can even be invaluable in emergency situations) but removing the symptoms does little for uncovering the actual CAUSE of the pain.

When you're looking to HEAL YOURSELF you then must transform your focus from a "magic pill" to the philosophy that only YOU can heal yourself in the long term.

Healing is comes from a concerted effort of your actions, your beliefs, and the strategies you deploy to support your body's amazing ability to heal itself.
