Do inversion tables really work?
In case you have not read about inversion tables elsewhere on this site, or have arrived here unfamiliar with the concept of inversion table therapy – here is a quick recap. Inversion therapy involves hanging upside down to use your body weight and the force of gravity as traction to release pressure and stress on your spinal cord.
An inversion table is simply a pivoting, padded board (known as the bed). While it is in the upright position like an ironing board, you strap your ankles firmly in at the bottom, then lie back on the board. Gently leaning backwards your bodyweight and controls allow you to pivot it backwards, allowing your head to move towards the floor and your feet to the ceiling.
The gravity that normally compresses your spine and tries to pull you to the ground is now stretching your spine and trying to pull your head towards the ground. We’ve all heard how you end up 1/2 inch shorter or something by the end of the day as gravity does its work on you — inversion is kind of the opposite of this effect.
It’s most often used to treat back pain, and many of those who use one will swear by it, though it is not generally formally prescribed in the medical community. The decompression is considered to alleviate strain and pressure on the vertebrae and discs in your spine, allowing the disc to absorb moisture and expand and minimize the squeezing and tension on nerves that connect there.
We’ve seen dozens of positive reviews from sufferers of back pain who swear that using an inversion table just 10 minutes a few times a week makes a huge difference, relieving pain from the back and neck. Many give the tables and procedure 5 star rating!
