Staying Hydrated

Can dehydration cause back pain? The short answer is yes. If you're not drinking enough water each day, your spinal discs can't do their job properly.

Proper hydration should always be a priority, especially during the summer. As the temperatures rise in the summer months, we tend to spend more time in the water and still somehow manage to drink less of it. Here’s why proper hydration is so important to the health of your body and spine.

You’ve heard it countless times before: drink plenty of water! The human body is made up of over 50% water and when you aren’t properly hydrated, you can suffer the side effects of dehydration. That includes dizziness, headaches, and even fainting. As if that’s not bad enough, dehydration could even be the cause of your back pain.
