The Use Of Inversion Therapy To Relieve Back Pains

By Mari Orr


The revolutionary effects of inversion therapy have brought a lot of relief to people suffering with back pains. It works by taking away weight from the spine and legs when one hangs upside down. Some do not hang but a certain inclination will work in a similar way.

The mechanism utilizes the pull of gravity as you lie on a table or through special hanging boots. This inverts normal pull and the reversal injects a new strength to the body. Joints are realigned when pressure is taken away and when pulling is not in the usual direction.

Nerve roots stand to gain a lot through this assistance by separating the discs in the spine. They regain shape when moisture is restored since they are no longer squeezed together. Even lying down for hours does not achieve similar benefits and therefore this is a very helpful procedure.

The benefits range from resumption of normal posture for the body when realignment has taken place. The hips and other parts on the spine may cause a lot of pain and swelling when they are not in line. This is manifested in back pains that can turn out to be chronic.

One is rewarded with a more flexible body which is not very likely using normal flexing methods like sit ups or raising ones legs. Blood circulation to other parts is also boosted since spaces are created and gravity put in to action. There is also a boost on oxygen supply to areas such as the brain and the head.

There are cases where inversion therapy needs to be approached with caution and they include pregnancy and even heart conditions. One need expert advise and to be patient moving from intensity to more intensity. This is the best way to achieve results without pushing the body too hard to the extent of breaking.
