Water... It's a love hate relationship. Most people know that it's "good" to drink water, but yet most people remain dehydrated...
If you're in pain, hydration is an easy first step in creating an optimal healing environment for many reasons.
Specifically for people dealing with lower back pain, piriformis pain or sciatica (all of which often involve some type of nerve irritation hydration is super important. In fact, it's one of the first things I educate my patients on simply because... well, it's simple.
In this video I describe WHY water is so important as it relates to your healing, habits and everyday things that actually "suck" the water out of the system, a simple calculation that lets you know exactly how much water you should be aiming for, and some simple actionable tips to ensure you reach your daily water intake goal.
Hydration is a simple (yet often overlooked) change that kickstarts relief for many of my patients with sciatica and piriformis syndrome.
