One of the most common questions we get is “how much water should I be drinking a day?” As with any medical question, it usually is answered with “it depends”. A hard and fast rule that we tell our valued patients is :

Drink one half of your body weight in ounces each day.

That means if you weigh 120 pounds, you should be drinking, on average, 60 ounces of water per day.

The usual follow up question is “why?”.

Your intervertebral discs are mostly made up of water and its job is to act as shock absorbers for the vertebrae. Without proper hydration, disc degeneration can occur and may cause various back problems.

In addition, see the infographic below for other health benefits of drinking the proper amount of water each day.

Some adults may wonder why more and more children are starting to see chiropractors. That’s a good question and the answer is simple:

Whether we have a large spine or a tiny little spine, if that spine is creating nerve distress then our magnificent bodies cannot operate smoothly.  Chiropractic adjustments may help children with the following:

1. To maximize their child’s brain and nerve development.
2. To enhance their child’s overall health and well-being.
3. To strengthen immunity and reduce the incidence of colds, earaches and general illness.
4. To help with colic and irritability.
5. To help with asthma, breathing difficulties and allergies.
6. To improve spinal posture.
7. To improve their child’s ability to concentrate.
8. To assist with behavioral disorders and enhance emotional well-being.
9. To help alleviate digestive problems.
10. To assist with bed-wetting and sleep issues.
