Back Inversion Table

Using a back inversion table is one example of the many ways in which spinal traction (stretching the spine) has been used in an attempt to relieve back pain. Today, inversion therapy is no longer be called an alternative treatment because it has been the subject of a great deal of clinical study. A table which can be inverted can help relieve many forms of back pain and provide many other health benefits by diminishing the influence of gravity, reducing the compression of the vertebrae and discs and allowing the supporting muscles and ligaments of the spine to relax. Inversion therapy can not only relieve back pain, but also relieve stress, improve circulation and help maintain overall good health. Using a back inversion table can also help to encourage good posture.

Using a back inversion table is convenient because you can use the table in the comfort of your home and when it is convenient for you to use. Most inversion tables are easy to set up and operate and will support up to 300 pounds.

While inversion therapy is generally considered safe, there are some reasons why you should avoid using an inversion table. Therefore, this type of therapy is not advisable to individuals with high blood pressure, cardiac function defects, or with glaucoma in the eyes. A negative effect of this type of therapy can be a detached retina, a condition in which the retina separates from the optic nerve. If you are unsure whether inversion therapy is safe for you, ask your health practitioner before beginning this type of treatment.
