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.

Introduction – Vox-pops from the case studies. Dr. Mosarah Ali, an integrated practitioner describes what a Migraine is and how it can be identified. Later on in the programme he explains how one can be caused by the displacement of the vertebrae as well as the other triggers: stress, sleep disturbances, over-exertion or geopathic stress (overhead cables etc). He is also the final practitioner. Case Study 1 – Karen had stress / hereditary migraines since she was 18. Case Study 2 – Claire’s migraines began to get really bad when she was young. Case Study 3 – Our third case study, Libby, wasn’t sure whether the terrible pains in her head were migraines Case Study 4 – Holistic treatment.

When we first met Catalina, she was in tears when she was describing her conditions. She has never experienced such intense pain in her life. She was worried and nervous. After extensive examination, she was the perfect candidate for Neural Spinal Decompression. The greatest fear for her was the constant urge of going to washroom. This is due to compression of the lumbar nerves. She felt embarrassed to go out. To make the long story short, after 15 sessions of spinal decompression., her shooting pain was gone, her low back pain was gone and most importantly her constant urge of going to washroom was finally gone. She is back to her normal life now and she can now go out to meet her friends and family without any worries.
