Cervical Radiculopathy

Neck pain has many causes. Mechanical neck pain comes from injury or inflammation in the soft tissues of the neck. This is much different and less concerning than symptoms that come from pressure on the nerve roots as they exit the spinal column. People sometimes refer to this problem as a pinched nerve. Health care providers call it cervical radiculopathy.

This Memorial Day, as always, Newport Physical Therapy honors our fallen heroes who have served our country.

You probably hear it a lot. “Stay hydrated!”, “Drink more water!,” but did you know that staying hydrated can have a positive effect on your rehabilitation and functionality?

First and foremost, it is important to note that your body NEEDS water. 60% of your body is composed of water and it is continuously cycling to provide function throughout your body. Yet, many of us do not drink the recommended amount daily.

Drinking enough water replenishes your muscles, blood, organs, body fluids, and cells so that your body can get its work done efficiently. But outside of that, staying hydrated is good for your muscles and it can positively affect your rehabilitation process. Drinking enough water keeps your joints lubricated and your muscles and other tissues energized, soft, and elastic… preventing potential injury and cramping! Give your body what is wants and hydrate! 💧

Other benefits to drinking water according to Harvard Health 2020 include:
🔅carrying nutrients and oxygen to your cells
🔅flushing bacteria from your bladder
aiding digestion
🔅preventing constipation
🔅normalizing blood pressure
🔅stabilizing the heartbeat
🔅cushioning joints
🔅protecting organs and tissues
🔅regulating body temperature
🔅maintaining electrolyte (sodium) balance.

Don’t forget to drink your 2 liters today (8 cups of 8 ounces of water)

and don’t forget to bring your water on those sunny day hikes! ☀️
