Hydration & Joint Health: The Secret to Pain-Free Movement in AZ
Why Hydration Matters for Joint Health
Staying hydrated isn’t just about quenching thirst—it’s essential for keeping your joints lubricated, your brain sharp, and your muscles functioning properly. A good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces of water per day to maintain proper hydration and prevent stiffness.
Morning Hydration for Brain & Body Function
Drinking a large glass of water in the morning is one of the best things you can do for your body. Not only does it rehydrate your brain, helping with mental clarity and focus, but it also jumpstarts digestion and supports nerve function—setting you up for a productive, pain-free day.
Dehydration & Lower Back Pain
As a chiropractor, one of the first questions we ask patients with SI joint or lower back pain is about their hydration habits. Dehydration can lead to muscle cramps, joint stiffness, and increased inflammation, particularly in the lower back and pelvis. Keeping up with proper water intake can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and prevent discomfort.
