Benefits of Using Far Infrared Saunas to Ease Lower Back Pain

Full Spectrum saunas have been continuously rising in popularity in recent years not only because of the relaxing experience it offers, but also because of the healthy benefits it provides. There are many various effects it can yield to your body, but it also helps to take a closer look at one specific condition, such as lower back pain.

Lower Back Pain

This particular discomfort may arise from different kinds of causes, ranging from inflammation to compression, sports injury or pinched nerves. Depending on the case that you have, and its severity, the pain level can be anywhere from a mere chronic discomfort to debilitating pain. In some cases, it may even require surgery.

However, for simple everyday discomfort, you don’t need to panic thinking that you’ll need back braces soon. Of course, you will need to consult with your doctor to be sure, but in the meantime, you can have pain relief through the use of infrared saunas.

Heat Therapy for the Back

Using the far infrared sauna, the likes that JNH Lifestyles manufacture, as your main heat source, you should be able to feel your muscles loosen as they become warmed up. This is made possible with the dilation of blood vessels around the lumbar spine. With the heat penetrating the body and opening up the vessels, the nutrients and oxygen coursing through are able to flow better to the muscles.

This begins a healing process for the damaged tissue, as well as eases the transmission of pain signals to the brain. With this concerted effort, you should be able to feel relief in your lower back pain in no time.

Perfect Combination

Heat therapy is also recommended to be paired with other kinds of treatments or therapies, such as massage, physical therapy, or regular exercise. With regular use, your muscles should be a lot less prone to cramping up or experiencing spasms, which trigger the discomforts most.

For example, you may opt to workout first and lift weights in the gym, and then follow it up with a short sauna time to wind down. If you would prefer to go swimming for exercise, you can switch it up and go to the sauna before you do your laps first instead, so that you can be sure that you’ll be able to do your strokes well in the water with your loose, warmed up muscles.

Even if you don’t really feel any all too bothersome lower back pain, it still would be beneficial for you to spend some time in the sauna to improve your health.
