Can Water Really Fix My Back Pain?

Did you know that water therapy is a natural healing system that dates back thousands of years? It can be used to correct, treat, or even prevent a broad range of health and injury problems. Hydrotherapy works because of the body’s need for water and our physiological response to it.

Doctors who use hydrotherapy believe that the stimulation water provides will create energy shifts in the body. Hydrotherapy works because of the ability of our skin to pass waste products outwards and certain nutrients inwards. Our skin just doesn’t cover us – it’s the body’s biggest organ.

The skin’s main function is to keep our temperature stable and anything external that affects the skin temperature directly (like hot or cold water) creates a reaction within the body. The reason why an Epsom salts bath relieves pain so well is two fold – the reaction to the temperature of the water plus the absorption of the magnesium through the skin (magnesium reduces muscle inflammation and hence pain).

It is interesting how we gravitate towards water naturally to help heal our ills, physical or mental. How often have you been stressed out and felt sedated and comforted after a good long soak in a hot bath or shower? And you didn’t have to think about it – you just did it.

If you know the right water treatments and how to use them, you can save needless expense and pain, and get control of your health.

Do you have a vulnerable sciatic nerve or back spasms?

One way to treat this is water therapy…

If you feel tightness in the area, take a hot bath and then afterwards lie down on some frozen bandages or a well wrapped cold pack. Your body is always ready to set up its defences when extreme cold or heat is used. Before too much time passes the area will heat up internally and the spasm will be eliminated.

You can reduce pain and increase circulation in a number of other ways too. Take alternate long hot, then short cold showers directing the stream to the affected areas. You can apply hot, moist compresses to the affected area and follow up with a cold water spray. You can take a hot hip bath and finish with a cold friction massage or cold shower.

Three treatments in a row is the usual remedy in most cases.

There is one other thing to remember about water therapies for your back pain:

Are you drinking enough of the stuff? If you don’t hydrate your cells properly, the ones under physical stress (for example the disks in your spine) won’t work properly and may get injured or you might aggravate an existing injury. So drink up. Your back will thank you.
