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,
