Drink More Water

Water constitutes about 75% of our bodies and it is essential for good health and well-being. We require proper hydration to regulate temperature, cushion joints, eliminate wastes and for countless other functions.

Experts observe that many of us are chronically dehydrated. In fact, some people confuse their body’s signals for thirst, as hunger signs!

What Kind of Water?
Drinking water from a reusable container after working out.

Drink pure water, ideally without chlorine, chemicals and the impurities often found in municipal water supplies. Enjoy the convenience and cost savings of adding a water filtration system in your home.

How Much Water?

Divide your weight in pounds in half. That should be your daily water intake in ounces. For example. If you weigh 160 pounds (72 kg), divide by two; you should be drinking at least 80 ounces (2.2 litres) of water a day, even more if the weather is hot or dry.

Your body has a constant need for water. Sip it throughout the day so you never feel thirsty.

Can someone who has had back surgery receive chiropractic care?
Yes. Rest assured that we will avoid the surgically modified areas of your spine. However, what we find is that surgical interventions will often produce spinal instability above or below the involved level. This is will be the focus of your chiropractic care.
What's the difference between sick care and health care?
Sick care is largely about relieving or suppressing symptoms. Health care is about improving performance. While sick care is about how you feel, health care is about how you function. Sick care is what you do to treat an obvious problem, and health care is what you do to avoid the problem and advance your well-being.
