Back Pain Inversion Tables

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.
