Bad Breath Relief

If you experience chronic pain, you already know that it can be very difficult to manage. The prescription for chronic pain is typically pain medication, therapy, and surgical procedures. If you are tired of the norm when it comes to dealing with chronic pain, you may want to give flotation therapy a try. Here are some of the benefits of flotation therapy for those dealing with chronic pain:

Distributes Weight

If part of your pain is muscular, flotation therapy does an excellent job of distributing your weight to take some of the pressure off of the injured areas. The weight on these areas can significantly add to your aches and pains, particularly in your back. Flotation therapy provides a weightless sensation that can relieve your body from the strain of your own body weight.

Provides Stress Relief

Chronic pain also adds a lot of stress to your life in addition to your physical disposition. Relaxing your stress level is critical to reducing your chronic pain. In addition to this, the stress incurred by pain can increase your blood pressure. Weekly flotation therapy, in addition to regular guidance from your physician, can be very beneficial. It is incredibly relaxing by providing a calming, peaceful atmosphere. Many float centers will provide a very spa-like atmosphere complete with oil diffusers, minerals that can be added to the tank, and dim lighting. All of these elements contribute to a very relaxing atmosphere.

Helps Your Sleep 

Another common issue with chronic pain patients is the inability to sleep. Depending on the nature of your pain, getting into a comfortable position at night can be very difficult. You may not even be able to sleep in a bed, resorting to a chair or other type of furniture. Floatation therapy can be quite helpful in helping your rest. The overall benefits of floatation therapy, including the temporary relief of pain and stress can benefit you and help you sleep. You may also have access to essential oils at the float center that can aid in sleeping. Be sure to ask about the option to add certain oils and minerals to your floating water that can help you relax and rest as much as possible.

Floatation therapy can highly benefit anyone dealing with chronic pain. The nature of the atmosphere can do wonders on your overall well being. Just like any therapy, be sure to discuss this therapy option with your physician to ensure you will be a good candidate for flotation therapy. To learn more, contact services like Float Foundation.
