CHIROPRACTIC CARE I suffer with osteoarthritis which becomes quite painful in the winter months. My chiropractor has told me to increase my water intake, but can that really help? The cartilage surfaces of the bones should contain a lot of water to remain healthy as this allows surfaces to glide over each other during joint movement. Dehydration can eventually cause friction and pain. Increased water intake, glucosamine, and fish oil may help to lubricate joints and reduce joint inflammation. Talk with your chiropractor or medical professional to see what may work the best in your specific case. Dr.Brook A.
