Inversion therapy
is a method of treating back pain by diminishing the influence of
gravity, reducing the compression of the vertebrae and discs and
allowing the muscles and ligaments that encase the spine to relax.
This is typically performed on what's called an inversion table.
The table allows you to lie on your back relaxed, in an inverted
position. This position eliminates some or all gravitational
compression, depending upon how far back you position your body.
Inversion therapy
is the safest, quickest and most effective way to increase the space
between your vertebrae. Numerous clinical studies published in
reputable medical journals have confirmed that inversion really does
increase the separation between the discs of the spine, which brings
relief from back pain.
For instance, one study considered 175 people who were unable to work due to back pain. After eight inversion treatments, 155 of the patients were able to return to work full time.
Other benefits people experience with a regular program of Inversion therapy :
* Maintains your height.
Regularly inverting will help you avoid the "shrinkage" others your age
are showing because of the cumulative effect of gravity over a lifetime.
Improves circulation.
When you're inverted, your body can circulate your blood aided by
gravity rather than having to work against it. In addition, with inversion, gravity helps the lymphatic system clear faster, easing the aches and pains of stiff muscles.
Relieves stress. A full-body stretch feels rejuvenating! And the inversion table
makes that relaxation easier to attain than climbing on a jungle gym or
taking a yoga class. Many people sleep better with regular inversion
therapy.
Heightens mental alertness.
Any upside-down activity increases the supply of oxygen to the brain,
which many authorities believe helps you maintain mental sharpness.
Increases flexibility and range of motion.
With inversion, your joints stay healthy and supple, so that you can
easily remain as active as you were in your younger years.
Improves posture. The stretch that comes with reversing the direction of gravity helps you sit, stand and move with more ease and grace.
Realigns the spine after workouts.
Running and other aerobic activities inevitably compress your spine,
frequently unevenly. One-sided activities like golf or tennis often
pull the spine out of alignment. During inversion, minor misalignments
often correct themselves naturally.
