Hot Tubs: Effective Back Pain Relief
A hot tub is one of the most effective ways of treating back pain. According to the site LIVESTRONG.COM: "Although heating pads and hot packs are effective, a hot tub or bath is an effective way to apply heat to a large area of the body. Heat works by relaxing surrounding muscles, which can reduce muscle spasms; it also dilates the blood vessels, increasing blood flow and promoting healing in the injured tissue. As the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases states, heat also “alters the sensation of pain”—in other words, it feels good and provides much-needed relief for acute or chronic back pain.

Surprisingly, if you use a hot tub for pain relief, it also improves your overall health as well. Why? Well, it is all due to what causes pain in your body. Pain is usually due to inflammation of some sort of tissue. When there is inflammation in your body, your body has to divert resources to try to combat the source of pain. The more pain you are in, the weaker your body is going to be as well as the fact that your health won't be good either. Look at someone who has arthritis in their back for example. People with spinal arthritis often have a stooped posture, which means that it is putting pressure on their midsection and torso. This in turn causes inflammation of other areas as well. Using a hot tub in this way reduces the inflammation throughout the body, and especially targets your back. So your posture will improve as will your breathing. If your breathing gets better, your blood will be more oxygenated. The more oxygen your bloodstream gets, the better off your organs will be as well.
Relieving Stress on Your System
Stress is unavoidable in life. However, the more stress you're under, the more at risk you are for a lot of serious health problems. You want to make sure that you reduce stress whenever possible, particularly on your body's systems. Stress compromises your body's immune responses and can contribute to hypertension and heart disease. So it is critical to reduce stress, and using a hot tub is a great way to do this.
