 Inversion therapy involves hanging upside down or at an inverted angle to use gravity to naturally decompress the joints of your body. Personally, I do not suffer from back pain, but my husband does. From a medical standpoint he has something wrong with one of the lower discs that is not serious enough for surgery .. but hurts ... alot. Over half of people who invert on a regular basis do so to relieve back pain. Not too many medical professionals or lay people would disagree that inversion therapy at the VERY least, gives you temporary relief from back pain. Inversion therapy (whether on a table or actual full hanging) makes sense to me from a logical standpoint. But I'd have to agree that it only makes sense from a "temporary relief" point of view. But, on the other hand, to discount inversion as simply a back pain remedy would be to ignore a wide range of benefits that can be easily achieved by a passive, or more active, inversion session. A widely publicized potential problem with inversion therapy is that it may increase blood pressure in your head. For this reason, you should not try inversion therapy if you have heart disease, high blood pressure or eye diseases, such as glaucoma, or if you are pregnant. During your normal daily activities, gravity causes fluid to squeeze out of your discs into adjacent soft tissue. With less space between the discs, you lose some height. When you sleep, some – but not all – of the fluid soaks back into the discs. During a typical day, you can lose as much as ¾ inch in height! And because there's only a partial recovery at night, the average person loses ½ inch to 2 inches in height by their senior years. In short, 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. Inversion therapy has been proven to help relieve many forms of back and neck pain including the following: 1. Bulging Disc 2. Herniated Disc 3. Chronic Back Pain 4. Lower Back Pain 5. Neck Pain 6. Pulled Back Muscles 7. SI Joint Dysfunction 8. Facet Joint Dysfunction 9. Spondylolisthesis 10.
