Back Pain and Inversion Tables: Do They Help?
In : Back Pain, Inversion Table, Posted by Admin on Apr.04, 2010
Can back pain be helped by inversion tables? Back pain plagues many people. It’s estimated that up to 90% of the population has suffered from back pain at one point or another. For about 10%, this back pain remains ongoing. So can inversion tables really help that many people?
Inversion tables have not yet been accepted by modern medicine. Most doctors try to treat back pain with medication if you are lucky, electric shocks or even surgery if you are not. This type of treatment is not always successful. Many people have gone under the knife just to come out with pain that is just as bad, if not worse, than before.
But inversion tables don’t require taking any dangerous medication. You don’t have to undergo painful electric shocks to damage the nerves, and you don’t have to be cut open. Instead, you simply use the table to hang upside down for 10 minutes a day.
This opens the disks in the spinal column, which relieves the pressure. This constant pressure leads to swelling, which can cause pinched nerves. A pinched nerve then causes the severe back pain experienced by most people. Relieving the pressure allows the nerve some time to heal, which can reduce your back pain.
You may think you can simply lie down flat, but hanging upside down is the only way to completely decompress the spine. Lying down flat on your back only relieves about 70% of the pressure. Hanging upside down relieves 100% of the pressure brought on by daily life.
So do inversion tables work for back pain? They do, if your back pain is caused by compression or pinched nerves. So 90% of people who have chronic back pain may benefit from using one. If you are not sure about buying one, you can always try them out at a chiropractor’s office. However, it is more convenient and less expensive to simply buy your own.

www.imdb.me www.facebook.com Rob Jordan Physical Therapist talks about back pain. Back pain in the lower back or low back pain is a common concern, affecting up to 90% of Americans at some point in their lifetime. Up to 50% will have more than one episode. Low back pain is not a specific disease. Rather, it is a symptom that may occur from a variety of different processes. In up to 85% of people with low back pain, despite a thorough medical examination, no specific cause of the pain can be identified. * Low back pain is second only to the common cold as a cause of lost days at work. It is also one of the most common reasons to visit a doctor’s office or a hospital’s emergency department. * For 90% of people, even those with nerve root irritation, their symptoms will improve within 2 months, no matter what treatment is used-even if no treatment is given. * Doctors usually refer to back pain as acute if it has been present for less than a month and chronic if it lasts for a longer period of time Many things can cause low back injuries–muscle strain or spasm, sprains of ligaments (which attach bone to bone), joint problems or a “slipped disk.” The most common cause is using your back muscles in activities you’re not used to, like lifting heavy furniture or doing yard work. A slipped disk (also called a herniated disk) happens when a disk between the bones of the spine bulges and presses on nerves. This is often caused by twisting while lifting.
