The 5 Factors Contributing to Neck Pain, Back Pain, and Sciatica: Dehydration or Inadequate Hydration
Understanding the 5 contributory factors, the principle causes of neck pain, back pain, and sciatica, is extremely important in overcoming and relieving our pain!
Returning to a “normal,” pain free life may not be possible if we are not aware of the contributory factors and how they affect our neck pain, back pain, and sciatica. It is crucial not only for our own edification but also for our overall understanding of how to construct and apply a real and lasting pain relief strategy.
Dealing with the 5 contributory factors:
1) Excess weight and/or obesity. By now you can see how that is linked to several of the 5 factors.
2) Muscle weakness. As we deal with this we will affect changes in our body that will lead to muscle strength and thus less neck pain, back pain, and sciatica.
3) Muscle imbalances. As we deal with our imbalances and our muscle weaknesses we deal with the other factors, too.
4) Diet and nutrition. As we educate ourselves concerning diet and nutrition, we set up a number of changes and make many more possible.
5) Dehydration. Or perhaps more accurately inadequate hydration. This has a profound effect on disc health and consequently on neck pain, back pain, and sciatica.
Dealing with the 5 factors will put us on the road to permanent neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief!
While we have discussed the 5 factors over the past several months, we have gone into detail over the last few days. It is my hope that you will achieve real and lasting relief as a result.
The fifth factor, dehydration or inadequate hydration is vitally important, as our intervertebral discs or IVDs are made up of primarily of water, in fact they are 85-90% water in a healthy individual. We lose water daily and our ability to replenish our body’s water supply is seriously jeopardized by our habits and our intake of various fluids know to be diuretic in nature.
The video below will deal with this in greater depth.
We will wrap up tomorrow and then move on to a new, neck pain, back pain, and sciatica treatment and relief exercise strategy that will help anyone willing to apply it…long term!
It is important to remember that it is not that we are drinking fluid, it is the kind of fluid and the amounts we are taking in that is vital to long term neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief! Simply drinking fluid, with little or no attention paid to the amount of water we are taking in, will set our spine up for degenerative disc disease, age-related dehydration, and a number of other neck pain, back pain, and sciatica related issues.
I will wrap this up in the next video and article. I hope this series has provided you with a base on which you can build an effective, long term neck pain, back pain, and sciatica relief strategy.

Is there treatment for this condition other than Criapractor
Hi! I just want to thank you for making this site/video. I am pregnant and have been suffering from severe sciatica for weeks. I’ve tried all the stretches, exercises, etc. recommended by other sites and doctors with no relief. I have been suffering from other signs of dehydration also. I never would have thought to relate my sciatica to dehydration. I am increasing my water intake starting today, I hope that this will be the answer to my pain. Thank you so much for opening my eyes to a way to hopefully relieve my pain!
Absolutely! Keep reading and check out my YouTube Channels!
Good luck!
